[SECC] Use of packet during contest

[Jeff W4DD]

Amen,

I've noticed single ops in packet pile-ups within seconds after the spot
goes out.  In addition, I view using packet as a single op as ethical as
running more power than allowed in one's power class.

Winning means nothing if one doesn't play by the rules.

Jeff, W4DD

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
