[RTTY] Mak RTTY Contest bogus logs

[B. Smith]

Marc,
I haven't seen any recently, but over the years I have seen very few suspicious QSLs. If I was active at the time, I try to figure out what happened and reject the QSL for the appropriate reason, or in some cases, I find that I had miscopied a call sign and I correct my log to fix that problem.  I would think that any user receiving a lot of rejects could easily be flagged in the system and any significant "padding" activity could be identified by eQSL. But probably more importantly, it takes careless confirmations to facilitate any fraudulent QSLs. So in great measure, EQSL is a self-policing system.

73,
Bill N3XL

Subject: [RTTY] Mak RTTY Contest bogus logs

Is it just me or have others noticed an increase in people trying to pad their logs with calls for the mak contest last weekend?.
One call in particular I find disturbing is a club call, I prefer not to divulge the call at this point and time , but when I logged into EQSL I seen log attempts on each band , bands I don't even have an antenna operational for at this time... Is this a normal procedure for a contest club to attempt to pad their logs , like how low can these guys get, this just irks me because I almost confirmed the qsos on the hunch I made a log entry error, but then I noticed several others from the same call on bands I did not even operate on...

73 and look forward to the next RTTY Contest
