[CQ-Contest] wpx ssb spotting report

[David Gilbert]

I always love reading this report, and I'm curious what kind of result 
it has.  I'm sure it goes a long way toward encouraging good behavior 
among those who know it exists, but I wonder if the contest sponsors 
actually use it.  I don't expect any of the contests sponsors to 
publicly comment, but has anyone ever looked at various contests to see 
if there is a difference between submitted logs and the official final 
results for the obvious offenders noted in the associated K1TTT report?  
It would certainly be a remarkable shame if Dave's well-documented list 
merely provided amusement for the rest of us.

73,
