[CQ-Contest] Spoofed Self spots

[John Dorr]

Jim,

“Dumbest contest” is a little harsh.

Nevertheless, I would point out that at least half of the contest’s participants are non-USA operators and indeed have to correctly copy the exchange/zone for the US guys they work. And, you’d be surprised how many US guys get zones wrong in their logs.

73, John, K1AR

That, combined with the scoring rules heavily weighted to those around the Atlantic basin, make CQWW a complete turnoff for most of us living elsewhere.
