[CQ-Contest] Re: Four things to look for in CQ WW ?

[k7qq at juno.com]

It really shouldn't be that difficult to find cheaters with cabrillo logs
 , The freq of the tx is given for those who use computer control.  These
are the ones that are able to select a pkt spot and go imedately to that
freq then return to orriginal freq.  The S& P guy will have these mults
show up as he tunes up or down the band.
