[CQ-Contest] Convergence and Change

[john at kk9a.com]

I do not believe that it is illegal for unassisted operators to spot
stations, anyone should be able to log into the cluster as long as they do
not see the spots.  I am amazed at the skills of the top CQWW unassisted
operators, it is absurd to remove this category just because there are
cheaters.

No, because there's often no login required, and wouldn't be secure if there

was.

You can watch spots online and nobody knows you're there. The most that
might 
show up is the IP address suggesting someone on your ISP is watching, but
that 
could be anybody, and it's easily spoofed, as well. Just look at all the
folks 
using VPN to access Hulu from outside the US.

The only way to eliminate cheating in contesting is to eliminate contesting.
