Bill,
You missed my point completely. If you loose a contest to a identifiable,
proven cheater, ABSOLUTELY the community should call this person to task (it
is up to contest committees to decide if a disqualification is necessary).
However, the majority of blather on this reflector is about complaints, not
about solutions. K1TTT's great work on self-spotters is pretty fool proof.
Name-calling about who runs power is not.
Identify cheaters and root them out -- don't name call and provide innuendo.
(oh, gee, maybe that's what internet
Reflectors are for? :-) )
73,
Gerry, W1VE/VE1RM

Rubbish. Cheaters not only win, they force the good guys to lose.
Cheaters should be rooted out and exposed as much as possible. I can't
believe Mr. Hull's comments; an invitation to anarchy.
