[CQ-Contest] What to look for

[KG6DV at cs.com]

I dont agree with GM3WOJ when he says you can spot the cheaters who use spot 
nets while SOAB.

There is little difference between the band operator at a M/M and a SOAB 
operator
other than the fact that the SOAB operator is supposed to be unassisted.  

>From W7RM I mined  40 meters out so well, and was so desperate for new blood, 
that I  spent the last 1/3 rd of the contest pouncing on stations almost as 
soon as they had finished tuning up.  Im sure the log would have shown many 
contacts that were just as soon as the first spot report.  Any SOAB in a 
similar search and pounce mode would be by GM3WOJ'S rule of thumb a cheater.  
I found myself in the same late in the contest situation at N6RO, and almost 
any MM I have ever operated at. It gets to the point where the spot nets 
become useless because your always there and gone by the time its announced.  
You keep the nets up in hope that they will provide something you missed.  
This late in the contest you tune back and forth on the band and can spot a 
new signal within seconds of its appearance.  On those occasions that I have 
gone SOAB it has been much the same. If the criteria for detecting SOAB spot 
cheats were the GM3WOJ method, any hard pushing SOAB would be suspect.

 Hello All!

CCF, Contest Club Finland, is arranging it's own trophy program for the
OH/OH0/OJ0-stations during CQ WW Contests!

There are also trophys sponsored for the stations working the most
OH/OH0/OJ0/OH-pedition stations during CQ WW. Take a look on the program at:
http://www.qsl.net/ccf .

Remember, CCF and SRAL are arranging the next WRTC 2002 Contest next summer
in Helsinki area. Maybe, you can find out something more about the

Operators outside of OH/OH0/OJ0
All the other stations working OH/OH0/OJ0/OH-pedition stations will be
evaluated according their logs sent separately to the Contest Club Finland's
CCF WW Program: ccfww at oh6yf.com.

Every station will get one point for every QSO with OH/OH0/OJ0/OH-pedition
on every allowed band during the CQ WW DX Contest. There are no restrictions
on the number of the operators taking part from one station into this
special competition. Of course all the OF/OG/OI-contacts are valid, as well.
Many stations are using a special OG call sign in CQ WW 2001 from Finland
and Aland Islands. Remember, they are valid as well!!! No duplicate contacts
are allowed.

All entries must be sent no later than December 1, 2001 for the SSB section
and January 15, 2002 for the CW section via Email to ccfww at oh6yf.com
