[CQ-Contest] CQ WW CW 2014 TO7A.

[Kelly Taylor]

Steve's point is excellent.

What we don't see here, between the QSO Randy had with ZP0R on 14.047 and
LU9HP on 14.073, is the possibility Randy was tuning rapidly through his
own, self-generated (and therefore not assistance) bandmap of stations he's
already worked and knows he can avoid.

It doesn't show him using band-stacking registers or quick memories to store
stations to come back later to work.

A pattern of frequency agility is proof only of someone being adept at using
his radio to move around bands quickly. Now, a pattern of frequency shifts
that correlate closely with the pattern of spots on a cluster or through a
Skimmer certainly makes the case for cheating easier to make. But it would
have to be a pattern: one or two over 48 hours might just be an unfortunate
coincidence.
