Randy,
CC members are not thousands of miles from here, few are here, just
next country to Bosnia. They know what is going on in their neck of the
woods. is do they care.
As I can see we do not need local group to address power cheaters,
problem is global and we as competitors are looking up to CC members to
make moves.
Again, what to do when some of CC members are cheaters too, how many
excel sheets, pics and videos we need to present to Contest Committee?
I for one raised my voice and publicly addressed the problem with
discriminating data about one of the members. Do we really have doubts
that ES5TV is stacking OM 3500 with vents on the side just like some
other guys whose pictures of the same can be seen on the web.
As I wrote in my story many of us are guilty by association, knowing
that their buddies, friends, or fellow club members are running too much
power but do not want to make "enemies".
I am not afraid of anyone and made my share of "enemies". I want to
speak truth no matter how much it will cost me. Problem is that nobody
listen.
Statements by CC like:"we can not enforce power limits in any country ,
it is up to their FCC/PTT" is just not acceptable to me. Downplaying the
power issue with comments like 3Kw is only 3db above rule limit is also
not acceptable. There are stations who use power limit to drive
amplifier(s).
