Will you run for office?  We need honesty...

I think it was two years ago I
operated the NAQP CW test running the full 1.5KW..did quite well too! Submitted
my score as SOHP and nothing was said. The next year I did the same thing, but
after submitting the score, I actually read the rules AGAIN and found I was
mistaken (not cheating – but mistaken!). I immediately emailed the NCJ
and the SECC reflector, disqualifying myself and received an email back from
the NCJ, thanking me for my honesty and also mentioning they had noted the year
before I submitted as SOHP! 

 

I enjoy contesting and cheating,
to me, is certainly NOT part of my life nor part of my contesting. How on earth
could one get any enjoyment out of cheating in a hobby in order to win
something? So if you suspect someone may not be aware of the rules, very politely
question them about it. There may be another person out there having ‘senior
moments’ such as I did. And if they are cheating, they immediately become
aware they are being observed.

I hope this contest stays low power. 
Years ago most contestants of the ARRL SS ran low power and got a mult for
doing so.  The limit was 150 watts INPUT.  Vic Clark W4KFC told me
that if you cannot work all of the US and Canada with 150 watts input then you
need better antennas.





 





I suggest that the amateurs running the amps
have to live with their cheating and will be caught sooner or later.
