There are no doubt many things one could do to advance one's cause in a
contest: Run QRO as QRP; monitor spotting net w/o anyone else knowing,
and some other more brazen breaches of rules or procedure.
HOWEVER: What then? Of what value is a QRP sweep in my own mind, when I
know it was QRO? There would forever be an asterick on that
accomplishment that diminishes it. A blotch that stains it so badly it's
worthless or less than worthless.
HENCE: I'm not too worried about ethics violations because the perps
have to sleep at night themselves. I sleep fine. We need also some
perspective in this activity. It's a hobby. There's no money involved
(prizes); no children will die. IMHO.
******* CANADA DAY CONTEST IS LOOMING...... July 1st! Both CT and TR
have provision for Canada Day!!!! Tons 'o fun and we won't say "eh".
