[RTTY] FW: Cheating

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Sorry I can easily compete in SS with a 70ft tower and a beams.

I take great offense that you classify contesters as cheaters.  The vast
majority are doing it right.  

Not reporting those found in violation does nothing to further the sport. 

I see tons of post about cheating.  Never do you see callsigns, never and
explanation of said offenses like your comment below....feel free to provide
facts about how people are slicing up the rules that you feel is cheating.  

How many people have even bothered to discuss their concerns with the
contest rules committees?

This is turning into a bash SO2R because I don't like it and bash all
contesters thread.

I left active contesting as a serious participant for those two reasons....

1.)  Unless I wanted to commit $100,000 to $200,000 I was never going to
"best" the guy in my section that had spent that much money. He and I were
in the same class. 
And
2.)   a single operator entry should be one person, one radio, and no
farting around with two or three transmitters on different bands as long as
one is not transmitting at the same time as one of the others... 

When I realized that contesting was little more than many people finding
their own unique way and version of "cheating", I decided to spend my time
in more productive pursuits. Anyone that thinks that cheating is not common
(many think that their particular way of slicing the rules to their own
advantage is not cheating), but there are a thousand ways to cheat, and
anyone who does not think it is going on in contesting is blind or a fool.

There is no way a Single Op, with a Single transmitter should be up against
SO2R.

Sure someone can come up with a blackbox to keep only one signal on air at
any given time, but still you have the distinct adavantages of two separate
radios.


Time to let them be in their own class.
