[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Observer program (CQ WW Rules need revision)

[Martin , LU5DX]

Do you really think the proposed solution is by far worse than the offense?
This clowns have been ruining our hobby for years nows. Setting world
records and diminishing the competition to a degree where,  right now, it
cannot be called a competition at all?
They been blocking the bands for far away stations with the increased level
of wall to wall generated by their decawatts.
They been gaining positions to WRTC doing all kinds of stuff.
If you have nothing to hide you should agree to let an observer observe you.
If you don't agree simply do not participate.
I insist CQ Should not privilege quantity over quality. Quality (in terms
of fairness) is the only way to guarantee long term success for our "sport".

There is no way other than spot check without prior notice. An observer
should come close to the station to inspect. Make sure that's the location
being used to make Qs. Since entrants should let organizers what the
location will be. I'm pretty sure they are already thinking to inform fake
locations with a few ops inside the pretended shack while actual operation
takes place from their decawatt bunkers some place else.

So it has to be done in a smarter way than what they do.

73.
