[CQ-Contest] ARRL Cheating in ARRL using the cluster

I just checked my RBN spots and noticed the same thing.  I only tried 
running once with not takers, all the rest was S&P but was spotted when 
calling other stations.

I seldom use the RBN during a contest but it does seem to me that it would 
be better if it only picked up on stations sending CQ or TEST.

OK, back in my hole,
