[CQ-Contest] Clusters and Cheating

[Doug Richardson]

One more word on clusters and cheating by single ops:
I have been connected to a local cluster that provides a call sign look 
up reference. I'm kind of a casual operator, and try to log as many Qs 
as I can, but I am prepared to wait in a pile up (especially in SS) to 
get the multiplier I need. I use the local cluster to look the running 
station's name & location, and call the op by name when I work them 
(gimmick I know, but I hear it from others more and more). Connected 
does not mean I am using the cluster to cheat.

I think the discussion should stick to facts, and avoid conjecture. Log 
comparisons to the cluster log would be the best way to establish funny 
business. P.S.: Why cheat? It degrades the value of what I might win. 
This is a hobby!!!
