I agree, but doubt that a properly secure spotting network will happen
in my lifetime. As I implied, I'm hoping that the culprit will find it
necessary to boast about his exploits, and someone will turn him in.

This problem cannot be “solved” without adding some level of authentication to
the spotting system. Right now anyone can spot anything using any call.
The WW Committee lacks subpoena power so it may not be able to ever identify
the rogue spotter.

Sorry, Tim, but I think a lot of us have a legitimate interest in seeing this
solved, and being patted on the hand and told to sit down and be quiet doesn't go over
well with me. I got a status report from K1AR, which is all I was looking for.

Hello Pete
What makes you think that nothing is being done? Do not worry.
Be assured that the CQWW committee has this and many other issues well in hand

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Spoofed Spots
I'm really surprised at the apparent disregard for VE7CC's report of
spoofed spots and spoofed self-spots during CQWWCW, all seemingly traced
to a single IP in Italy. After the first time this happened, a month
earlier (CQWWSSB), we were assured that the committee had it in hand,
with reliable reps in Italy pursuing the answer. Since then, nothing.
How about a status report - if people can pull this sort of thing with
impunity, it will certainly damage efforts to enforce the appropriate
rule against self-spotting.
To refresh memories:
">From the VE7CC-1 cluster log.
27 Nov total spoofed spots 599 out of 30018 non skimmer spots.
28 Nov total spoofed spots 1117 out of 30073 non skimmer spots.
Total 1716 spoofed spots from IP 217.61.58.23 over weekend.
Includes
203 self spots 27 Nov 2021
385 self spots 28 Nov 2021
These spoofed spots are only the ones that I identified with IP 217.61.58.23.
These spots were entered on both DX Spider and CC Cluster nodes. There could
be more from AR Cluster or Spider nodes running software that doesn't include
IP addresses.
