[CQ-Contest] Big jump in qrz.com lookups after 10m contest

[Tom Haavisto]

I too get a lot of lookups during a contest.  My impression is that
there are a lot of casual folks who simply like to look.  If they need
to look on QRZ to verify my data, well, seems like they are not
interested in "fair play".

One suggestion if I may - don't publish your "correct" data here on
the CQ-Contest reflector.  I assume if they are willing to look on QRZ
for verification, chances are they will also use info posted here as
well to fix their logs.  Definitely not cool.  My take on it is - copy
is what is sent over the air during the contest - don't rely on QRZ or
any of the other web sites out there to verify what you copied.  If
someone copied it wrong - they will find out from their UBN report.
