[CQ-Contest] CQWW 2016 SSB logs now public

[steve.root at culligan4water.com]

 The crux of the matter of course is what actually constitutes an actiionable "issue". I'd like to see a clear cut example of a discrepancy in a log that would lead to an action by the contest sponsor....a discrepany that wasn't found by normal log checking procedures. Anything else has a high probability of being a witch hunt. False accusaions of cheating will lead to acrimony.

I had the same uneasy feeling, Hans.It sounded like a call for the 'vigilantes' to go to work.If some 'issue' is found, it has to be dealt with of course, but the approach to achieve this was not the best.73 de Vince, VA3VFOn 2017-01-06 10:37 PM, kzerohb at gmail.com wrote:> Doug, this is possibly the most disturbing message that I have ever seen on this reflector.>> Essentially you, wearing your “Director of CQWW” hat, have gone out to the worldwide fraternity of Amateur Radio sportsmen and said…..>> “Hey, guys, here are the logs of everybody who played in this Amateur Radio contest.
