[CQ-Contest] QRP cheating

Can someone, or the moderator(s) explain to us Europeans that if we add a 
personal critical remark its publication is being refused and every time 
hams from the USA soil practises this,  no one interferes???


By the way, K9YC already made a valid point on the ability of hams with good 
ears :)
And there's more to be learned in successful contesting with less than 
kilowatts and/or super stations.
Readers prefer that kind of content.

Kind Regards,

Mark PA5MW

Doesn't hurt to be in Wyoming either.




It isn't the number of watts that makes you loud.  It's the size of those 
watts.





But spare us the weak signal mantra about how anyone running a large station 
with good antennas is an inferior being.  QRP isn't hard to send --- it's 
hard to hear.
