[CQ-Contest] HELP-Accused of Cheating

[Clint Talmadge]

The answer would depend on from whom you received the note.  

If it were from the accuser then I would agree with the last poster which is to ignore it.  At least from a Contester's point of view.  If this person is a friend (term used loosely) I would approach them and try to work it out.

If the note is from the Contest Organizer, prepare your defense, (i.e.) high gain antenna, jealous competitor, etc and submit your position.  Not much more you can do.

It would appear to me that the accuser has the burden of providing proof.

  I received a note via US mail accusing me of running more power than I 
  claimed during the 2006 CQP contest. I am asking the contesting community 
  for some advice on this matter. I could ignore it as someone who is mad at 
  me since my score is greater than there's. I could try to prove my entry, 
  which I am willing to do. I could give in to them and throw my log out but 
  then it makes me feel like I am in the wrong, which I am not. I ran legal 
  power but to very high gain antennas and I'm sure my signal was strong 
  enough to seem like I was running higher power.

  Any suggestions?
