[CQ-Contest] cqww cw spotting report

[Jukka Klemola]

In sports:
Today's news told a Finnish ski jumper was DQed due to his skis being
longer than his weight would allow.
Also the person's name was public.. it was his bad.

It is good we have this kind of a system in our voluntary-work
established group of people.

Thanks for the work David and please keep on doing.


Personally, I cannot come up with a better way of bringing these issues
visible to us all.

Unfortunately nobody else gets to learn from those silent events.  If no
one
learns, someone else is bound to try to repeat that method of cheating.
By
exposing them publicly not only do others learn that those methods are
not
allowed, but it also allows peer pressure to be applied in cases that
may
not rate a dq.  This has helped stop some who either didn't know what
the
rules were, or had misinterpreted them without official action...
hopefully
making them better contesters in the future.
