Cheating? Who accused him of cheating?
No, I read the information from K1TTT, and the follow-up from the boys in
Brazil as more on the lines of recognizing that an error had occurred, and
bringing it to the attention of PU2FAN so that he was (a) aware of the error,
and thus (b) not make the same error again.
If nobody tells him, how will he know? And if he doesn't know, how will he
ever stop making the same mistake?
Isn't that what the essence of contesters helping contesters is all about?
Sheesh.

I am sorry guys but publicly accusing someone of cheating on this reflector and
blacken
there name is totally wrong, in the case of this young PY station he may likely
chose not to enter
another contest because of it, and we wonder why there is no young blood coming
into this hobby ?.
What Dave is doing is an excellent job however the info should be passed onto
the contest committee to help
them with log checking / deciding category winners, same goes for anyone else
who has a query over a stations
contest effort, send the evidence to the contest community and let them decide
to deduct points or disqualify the station.
I have never self spot, no do i believe 95% of the contest community has ever
done either and think it is just wrong, i do not know
the PY station or how well he has done in his category, i am going to assume he
is not going to be a category winner or even
come close, so what difference does it make if he self spots or not to increase
his activity and enjoyment of the contest.
Obviously if it was a serious effort it should be up to the contest committee
to decide to deduct or disqualify and not us.

Hi all,
Just to give a feedback on the report of the spots K1TTT, where
indicated PU2FAN as a selfspotter. PU2FAN is an operator of 18 years,
licensed for less then one year, has learned CW by himself. He works
with a CB transceiver converted to 40m.
We contacted him about the self-spots, and he really did not know it was
against the rules of the contest. He apologizes about what happened.
