[CQ-Contest] CQWW - considerations on the truths that are revealed

[Alessandro Gromme]

Slowly the truth about the dubious management of what until now was
considered the contest of the year coming out, bringing to light a
"dubious" managemnet, not to call it "terribly unfair", by those who should
ensure compliance with the rules, but which, it seems, the rules breaks
first.

It’s curious to find that several stations in recent years have been
disqualified with ridiculous accusations, often were stations with an
excellent result, for other charges that can be defined almost absurd.

Often self-spotting appears to be a weapon in the hands of a  to the
incorrect and dictatorial committee to remove from the final rank the
stations thinking that the station accused cannot prove to be innocent but,
even when the station produces concrete and irrefutable evidence of their
innocence, nothing changes if not fall all in the silence, to not respond
to emails and still confirm the disqualification.

Now this is the procedure adopted by this Committee as the previous ones,
is almost an unwritten rule that are handed down from management to
management ... and this happens only in the CQWW !!

Try to seek with a filter in the CQ WW database and see what he tells us?

*Here definitely better right ?? ... I would say this ridiculous ... only 8
stations disqualified in the last 37 years.*

Not returning to the speech of the evidence or allegations that have
disqualified ALWAYS foreign stations, often with a brazenness that justify
himself behind ridiculous accusations, I wonder if this attention to
disqualifications is impartial.

I have been disqualified for 3 spot "doubts" of which I have given proof of
being innocent (evidence, not words) ... in 37 years you want to tell me
that no US station received 3 of dubious spot ?

I do not want to create a diplomatic crisis between nations but if you want
to make the champions of fairness we must with the same fairness and
honesty to admit that this is suspect.
