[CQ-Contest] TO7A debacle

[Steve Lott]

wow !

I am amazed at most of this,
not surprised (I am not that naive), disappointed mainly
it used to be all Hams were trusted to a high degree

A hand shake or word of declaration on a contest entry
was a bond that was respected, sacred

For many of us it still is !!!

It appears with the level of suspected activity
and then the Big Amp story by the "IJ0"
that the fact some of our fellow contest OPS have stooped to the Dark Side

This saddens me, ticks me off and makes me wonder if I should really pursue
building my new contest station in North Texas.
And even DXing has it's Dark Horses

Do I really want to pursue a new hobby,  No !!!

So I will build my new station and continue to chase DX
and when I get frustrated take a break
and go brush hog the back 50 acres

After all the majority of us do play within the rules and within the
gentleman's agreements.

Cheers!
Steve
