[CQ-Contest] Working Split In A Contest Is Verboten!

[Tom Hammond]

Well, I admit that I fell prey to this, twice! www.qrz.com/db/gj0ke comes up
blank. Geesh...

I worked "them" on 15M at 18:04 and on 20M at 20:59. That means that "they"
were operating for at least 3 hours handing out bogus points. Who would do
such a thing? Why? 

I passed through Jersey on a business trip once, and working them reminded
me of it. I wondered to myself why Jersey could run a KW while the rest of
the UK can only run 400W. I was had, but good. 

I wonder if I would have caught ID0IOT or DU0PE (both poor examples, I
admit) in my oblivious state. 

I'm feeling seriously disappointed by my fraternal brethren, and in myself a
bit.

Speaking of things that are "verboten" in a contest (or should be)...


Under the category of WFWL, anyone else raise an eyebrow over "GJ0KE" ?  I
caught him (or whomever it was using that call) on 15 CW on Saturday.  The
call seemed just a little too "cute", and when I heard him sending a power
level of KW instead of 400, I smelled a rat.  


Like I said, WFWL, but I suspect that anyone who worked that station is
going to be down a Q and a mult, once the log checking starts, due to no
fault of their own.
