HG1S on näköjään päättänyt että hyökkäys on paras puolustus ...

Aihe: [CQ-Contest] RE HG1S in WPX CW 2000


> 
> Dear Vlad,
> 
> We're glad to notice that you're interested in and following our contesting
> activities. We do the same with our competitors, however, after comparing
> the top scorers' results we do not question their skills, technical
> background and don't accuse them groundlessly. We accept that our strategies
> can be miscalculated, propagation misunderstood and our skills maybe worse
> that those of others.
> 
> We're greatly surprised that just someone at RU1A dared to accuse anyone in
> the contesting community with cheating, knowing that RU1A team has been
> caught on cheating several times. Without stretching our memories too much,
> we can bring up WAEDX-CW in 1997, where RU1A was DQed for abusing the 10
> minutes rule, or the IARU last year, where the R1MV team (staffed mainly by
> the RU1A core crew) was reclassified from M/S to M/M.
> 
> Our claimed score is often reduced by the log-checkers but not in a greater
> extent than that of any of the same class and unlike yours, our team has
> never been disqualified from any contest. We do consider the log accuracy an
> important factor and as you can see and calculate yourself, the difference
> between our claimed and approved score is getting smaller and smaller. In
> this matter you might have some room to improve, too.
> 
> We respect your decision of not working us again. We won't strain making
> contacts with you in the future. We don't think that this would do any good
> except giving one less multiplier for both of us.
> 
> You're accusing HA1TJ's single op achievements as well. On what basis,
> please ? Just because you find it too good for your own standards ? Last
> year the operator of EA8BH unassistedly made 10500 QSOs in 48 hours. Seeing
> that we did not write defamatory letters since we know that N5TJ is an
> excellent operator and EA8BH is a good station. When you accused HA1TJ, why
> didn't you accuse N5TJ as well ?
> 
> We would find extremely interesting the fact that RU1A ended up only 110 QSO
> less than HG1S claiming to have only half of the airtime. Since when
> European Russia is such an attractive DXCC rarity, which would justify this
> ? Or you're just twice as good as anyone else in your class ? Despite your
> higher number of mults your score is clearly lower. We do suggest to convert
> your frustration of being defeated to a more usable form of energy, which
> can be used to improve your station and your skills. If you had done it
> before the WPX-CW, you could have surely win over us.
> 
> What would happen if everyone starts to accuse others ? Since AN6IB made
> even 200 QSOs more, you should accuse them, too. You have beaten DJ7AA by
> 700 QSOs, shall he accuse you too ? It does not lead anywhere. It is the
> task of the contest committee to evaluate the logs, to set up the ranking
> and change the rules if it's necessary. Or maybe you're not satisfied with
> their work, too because you did not win ? In this case you should come up
> with constructive proposals, which would eliminate even the possibility of
> cheating instead of writing defamatory accusations !
> 
> We are implementing an open door policy. We subscribed to an email account
> and we report our claimed score for every contest we do, we bought K1EA's CT
> to be able to send the logs in the format, which is required by the log
> checkers. As technology developes we're willing to make further steps into
> this direction.
> 
> This letter is not intended to be the beginning of a public dispute but an
> answer to the untrue allegations. We don't think that allegations would
> solve anything. We're open to any serious proposals regardless where they
> come from, which aim to improve the accuracy of log data and level the
> playing field for everyone. We consider this issue closed and won't react
> any other letter of the similar kind.
> 
> We wish you all the best for your contesting activities, 73!
