[CQ-Contest] Cheating Revisited

  That is correct Mark. Now the discussion has changed a little bit, so everybody is talking about how well  a SO2R can perform, previously it was the 10 minute rule. But still none of the guys replying to my original message was able to tell me how a Super Mega Tera Op running two radios can work only 33 mults less than the biggest HQ on this planet (that is, DA0HQ). The HQ had at least 12 stations, plus an additional operating mode (SSB), so I guess part of those 33 mults were unique on SSB, so the difference is even less!!!!!!!!!!!
   
  I, like the many, including people of unquestioned reputation and a never ending list of contest achievements (e.g. N6TJ) do not understand why to keep things the way they are. I mean, don´t you realize that people is CHEATING and winning over others who DO NOT CHEAT using packet. Not even N5TJ could have ended with such a mult count in this IARU contest. I mean when he achieved both SSB and CW records in CQ WW the mult count was better than some MS but not so close to the mult total of the big Multi Multis.!! (Not to mention that those multi multis were using only one mode). In this case the HQ were using and additional operating mode!!!
   
  Sometimes I feel contesting is becoming a WAY TOO OBVIOUS NONSENSE activity! Like in this case.
  Regards.
