[CQ-Contest] radio-sport.net web site or copy and pastejournalism

[brian coyne]

Absoulutely no doubt about it. Jamie should publish a retraction by way of an apology to the LZ9W group - that's the way things should be done.

We should expect/demand when someone makes a public error that they
publically admit that an error had been made, publically correct the
error(s) rather than as Tom says "The usual policy is the author or editor
hopes it will all go away so they do not look careless or irresponsible,
rather than just admit they made a mistake and try to undo all damage."
