[CQ-Contest] Category hopping

[Radio K0HB]

Martin, nothing you mention in your post is a loophole.  It is all cheating and rule breaking.  Taking advantage of a loophole, by definition, does not break a rule.


But the word loophole and the word cheating are both irrelevant in this discussion.




No one has cited any evidence of rule violations by CR3L, and so far they seem to have the highest score in their chosen category, which by all accounts they are eligible to enter regardless of pre-contest expectations.

Wow Maarten,
What you say is really dangerous.
There are loopholes everywhere in the rules.
Rules require you to use certain level of output power to enter a category,
but there is a loophlole, since no one is going to be able to verify that,
according to your reasoning we are supossed to use whatever power level we
want and then take advantage of the loophole to win a plaque?

Rules requiere a person to do all the logging and operating to be
considered a single OP, but, there is a loophole since no one is going to
be at your place to verify that. Is that mean, we must Take advantage of
the loophole and use the seevices of a ghost OP, so that we can confortable
sleep at night, and still claim single OP to gain the upper hand?

There are a few things that resolve loopholes of any kind: dignity, respect
and sportsmanship.
