[CQ-Contest] CQ WW CW 2014 TO7A.

[Oliver Dröse]

Ahem, isn't this exactly what we do with SO2R or even SO2V? Your 
examples below show 8 and 10 minutes between the two 40 m QSOs. Plenty 
of time to find new mults on the second radio/VFO and stack a few of 
them into the bandmap to get back later, i.e. after 1008z. I'm doing 
exactly the same even with SO2V if I can't nail them 1st call. Decision 
to make between trying a 2nd or 3rd time for the mult and possibly 
loosing your run frequency on the 1st radio/VFO or just putting them 
into the bandmap and then clicking through the saved spots later when 
the pileups went down. This can (but does not need to) explain the big 
QRG differences, just work through your own mult list on the bandmap or 
mult window. Everytime I do a band change I go hunting for mults first 
leaving all "normal" QSOs beside. Maximizing results in short time! ;-)

What that really means is certain patterns are no evidence of cheating 
but can also be a sign of clever operating techniques! They might be an 
indication but more is needed to be 100% sure! Analyzing a log along 
will never be enough to convict somebody of assisted cheating. You must 
take other sources like cluster/RBN spots into account, too, but even 
then be aware of possible coincidences! Can't count the times I found a 
mult all by myself with it getting a packet spot the same minute ...

Unless the contest committee is unveiling what and how they checked to 
come to the conclusion that TO7A used assistance all else is just pure 
speculation. You can't convict from the log alone.
