[SECC] Use of packet during contest

[MARK LUHRMAN]

This is for all to read. I have noticed that certain individuals are claiming single op status during contests and they always seem to have one of the highest multiplier counts. I am a pretty good operator myself and for years my multiplier counts were always good. I didn't even use a computer. It was always hunting for the mults.,but the multi stations always beat me in mults. It is amazing to me how stations that claim single-op status have as many mults as the big Multi-Stations, or really close. I just can't beleve these stations are not cheating and using packet! I mean I like to be competitive, but not to where my ego has to be inflated! It is a shame that there is dishonesty among our ranks. I was always taught to do the right thing. So if I don't step up to the plate, then I too am just as guilty in letting these practices go on! I would like to think that we as operators, especially in todays world not give up our morals, for a 10 sec. FAME! Mark W4SVO
