> Dear contesters
> The important thing is that we all agree that breaking the rules is not
> acceptable. When we see a friend running 2 kW, operate outside the allowed
> bandsegment, "wash" the logs after the contest, use assistance in a
> non-assisted entry etc we should say to him that this is not OK, this is
> not fair. We should all try to clean up in our community, among our
> friends. The people in SM6 could do that in SM6 and the people in OH6 could
> do that in OH6. I will do that in SM5, SM3 and OH1, because I operate and
> know hams in these areas.
> And we must be honest, SM6Z Kurt did fuck up. He did not slip below 3510
> kHz for a minut or so, where he with S&P got one QSO. No, he was CQ-ing
> below 3510 for more than a half hour and made 17 QSO:s during that time.
> You must talk to him, Rickard. Has he problem with his gear? Then he rmust
> fix his station. Did he choose to "bend" the rules "a little bit". Then he
> must stop to bend the rules. The rules say in point 5 "On 3.5 MHz, Region 1
> stations must not transmit below 3510 kHz on CW or above 3790 kHz on SSB",
> period.
> Next time Kurt should have CAT on his station, because then he will se the
> frequencys in the log. It would also be fair, if the SAC organizer 2013
> would demand Kurt to use CAT and submit a log with frequencys for every
> QSO.
> It is only a small number of stations, that do not follow the rules. The
> vast majority are honest and play clean. Nontheless the cheating is a
> problem also among us. Therefore we must clean up here in Scandinavia. Only
> after that can we demand the same thing from other countries. And when we
> win up here near aurora borealis, we can count on that it was a clean
> victory.
