Not true - I heard several calling CQ and not getting callers.

Yes, and very time a station is spotted it gets more callers.
That's not cheerleading in the conventional sense Carol described,
it is direct external assistance.

It SHOULD be a measure of the operating skills of each team.

> Packet spotting is not the problem as some would believe.

It's the most significant unregulated factor in preventing WRTC
being a measure of the operating skills of each team.
