[CQ-Contest] Request to publish all calls of stations found to be breaking any rule in all contests

[Ria Jairam]

If it was an honest mistake (eg VFO out of band, op didn't realize) it is.
There is NO need to publicly shame people for an honest mistake such as
that. Especially if it's the first time they've done it.

Why can't we have both? We have both now.. Part of the strategy of
contesting is choosing a location. This is why stations go to the Caribbean
and other places to compete. Now you can even rent a remote station and
stay wherever you are and operate an east coast station in Maine or New
York or wherever. And don't think east coast or New England automatically
means a win. K3LR beats them from basically the Ohio/PA border and K5TR is
pretty competitive from Texas, W7WA is competitive from Western Washington
(leveraging his proximity to JA, no doubt), W8JI station does well from
Georgia, etc. But if you want to compete regionally, you can. In fact, the
line scores are broken down by call district, and the only separate
countries/regions mentioned in the magazine articles are usually USA and
Europe.
