[CQ-Contest] Attention CQWW SO2R Competitors

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

By no means whatsoever do I now or ever condone cheating.


My concern is that is the zeal to catch cheaters, I have to wonder if the cure is worse than the disease?  If you chase out the honest folks who simply don't wish to put up with the more draconian and invasive methods... and the cheaters will still try to cheat... what have you accomplished?

My intention was just to point out that even with extreme measures cheating would still be easy to do.  I think the contest organizers should be very clear about exactly the kind of cheating strategies that additional "audit trail" requirements are meant to prevent.
