That's quite a list, and I'm honored to be mentioned in that company.
Thank you Hans and 73.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Cheating
My "neighborhood" of contesting and DX'ing friends are guys like NØAT,KØKK,
KØTO, KØIR, KØKX, KTØR(SK), KØFVF(SK), KØRC, KØSR, KØAD, WØAIH, KØMD,NØIJ,
WØGJ, K4IU, KØMPH, etc.There is NOBODY in that group, and hundreds more that I
know now, and haveknown over my 50-some years in DX and Radio-sporting, that I
can imaginebeing outside the rules, even just a smidgen.The interminable
jeremiads crying "cheat" on CQ-Contest, mostly by notedhams whose credentials I
otherwise admire, is loutish and Ill-mannered. Itinsults the community of hams,
99.99% of who play by the rules.If you know a cheater, well then turn him in;
but don't condone thewidespread internet trashing of hams in general. We are
better than that.Your neighborhood may vary.73, HBOn Tue, Aug 23, 2016 at 13:06
