[CQ-Contest] K0SR Vindicated (Was "2024 ARRL DX CW Raw Scores - Is the LP Winner from MO - REALLY?)

[Jeff Blaine]

As a frequent serious contester from the Midwest, it's almost impossible 
to beat the east coast stations on any context where the Q point 
multiplier scales with continent.

As such, I would suggest that someone contact the op directly for 
comment.  Instead of spreading all this nonsense about what may or may 
not have happened.

The clear insinuation is thick; suggesting that he's a cheater. So 
man-up and call it that.  Or - find some way to contact the gentlemen 
and ask for clarification.

But don't take this pathetic path of smearing the guys reputation absent 
some serious attempt to get the story straight.  We are, after all, in 
the ham biz, and not in the click-bait biz.  At least I thought we were...
