[CQ-Contest] More Cheating

[Doug Renwick]

Is cheating more common than anyone wishes to admit?  Is it time to take
a reality check and acknowledge that cheating is a big problem instead
of down playing (head in sand) the possibility?

Quote from QST May, 2008, How's DX:

"The other, more serious finding was that some hams used remote stations
on the West Coast to get a contact on 160 and 80 meters under a European
call sign.  Since we did not establish a pilot station in W6, it is
close to impossible to verify good contacts from the bad ones."

"What would you do?  Either you just work all without hesitation or you
start to police the bands with a dozen friends around the globe.  We
hereby encourage constructive debate on the issue.  The credibility of
DXCC and IOTA hunting is at risk."

IMO it is a world wide down ward slide of morality which has infected
DXing and contesting.

The water jump is long and the barrier may be high, 
you might break every bone, but it's so much fun to fly!
