I don't really agree with your assessment Jeff. Aren't we all friends here?
Why can't I discuss what happened to me with my fellow contesters? Is the
contest committee the "Enlightened Ones" that never make a mistake?
If I have nothing to hide and feel mistreated I will go and tell someone:
Hey this happenend to me.. can you believe it? And the ones to tell my story
are my fellow contestors. Now if I am a fat cheater and get caught, wouldn't
I just go and hide under the first rock I find and not make any noise? But I
have not cheated I will make some noise and make my case be heard!
I for one think there is something brewing in these DQs and somehting has to
been done... Where there's smoke, there's fire...

I think this is at least the 3rd time I can think of that someone who has
been disqualified in a CQWW contest that has tried to plead their case on
the contest reflector. This isn't the correct forum to do that and I don't
think you're going to get you much sympathy. The issue should be private
between the contest adjudicator and the station in question. I know in the
past they have been willing to work with a station who they suspect broke
the rules and maybe persuade them have their submitted log reclassified as
a check log.
We are hearing only one side of the story when the accused party posts
something on the reflector criticising the contest sponsor. How do we
really know what they are saying is really true? I'm not saying that the
person in question broke a rule purposely. It could be something as simple
as not understanding the rules that can get you DQed.
The CQWW Contest committee consists of a bunch of well respected
contesters that have been doing this a long time. They aren't going to go
and DQ anyone for making one mistake. I believe when they see a pattern
that is inconsistent with the rules is when they consider a DQ.
Jeff
