[CQ-Contest] Is it a time to change rules for HQ stns in IARU contest ?

[Valeri Stefanov]

Dear Fellow Contesters,

I would say the time to change rules for HQ stations in IARU contest has
come.
It is crystal clear ,if one reads the link below( of course, if he can
understand
Russian :-) )

www.qrz.ru/webnews/3441.htm

In IARU 2005 -
It is NOT normal DA0HQ to have over 9000 DL QSOs out of total of 19 000.
It is NOT normal to have SN0HQ been called by 1200 different SP callsigns
who used JUST ONE STATION to make these QSOs. 528 of these 1200
SP operators worked SN0HQ on all 6 bands form JUST ONE STATION.
SN0HQ had 8 000 QSO's with SP stations ,too !
(info is translated from the link in Russain given above )

As a normal person I would  NOT call this a fair competition although
accroding to currently printed rules of IARU contest this is NOT a formal
rules violation.

If we have the same approach in LZ we would ask 1/3 of all 3000 LZ
hams to go to our central radio club station and to stand on a queue
to work LZ7HQ station on 6 bands  :-))).

I would kindly suggest to organizing committee of IARU contest
to take action and stop this nonsense.
At this time I can not suggest myself a solution of this problem,but such
actions by some HQ stations definetly makes efforts of other HQ stations
useless.
