I fully agree Ron. People here are talking about the CR3L team making an
unethical decision by switching categories. They are playing judge, jury
and executioner by condemning CR3L's actions without knowing the whole
story. Talking about "unethical"...
Furthermore, the M/S and M/2 categories were intended for the smaller
stations. Sometime years ago ops decided to ad more multiplier station to
gain the advantage. Why wasn't that considered "unethical"?
To me it's simple. In competition people try to find loopholes in the rules
to gain the upper hand. This happens in every sport/competation and
contesting is no different. This is exactly what causes us to push the
envelope. If I'm not mistaking, that is exactly what this hobby is all
about.
Personally I think CR3L did something clever and kudos to them for winning
M/M with a M/2 set-up (if that is in fact what they did).
If I was a member of they CR3L team I would in now way feel obligatory to
respond to accusations made on this reflector (even going as far
as comparing them with a known cheater).
