[CQ-Contest] Internet Radio Abusers

[David Gilbert]

As if anyone cares, Doug.

Besides, how do you plan to police this sort of thing?  Since the rules 
allow such operations, nobody really needs to declare anything other 
than where their transmitter/receiver was located ... they don't have to 
declare where they were located.

And actually ... the rules do make it right.  The rules (governing body 
and contest sponsor) are all that count, period.  Don't participate if 
you don't like the rules.

That being said, you always have the right to refuse a QSL for whatever 
reason you like, silly or otherwise.  Just don't try to pretend your 
reasons have anything to do with the rules.  The contact was legitimate 
according to the contest rules you agreed to adhere to  ... assuming you 
enter a log.   If you carried that a bit further and deleted the 
"offending" QSO from your log before you submitted it, I'd disqualify 
your log if I was the contest sponsor.
