	NOT  AT  ALL..  You actually VERIFY the call.  (N4KG)

	THAT  IS  OBVIOUS.    (N4KG)

	Consider the following example.

	CT1BOH asks HC8N to QSY  to 1825 for a new 
	multiplier	in the CQ  WW   DX  Contest.  

	You go to 1825 and hear a faint CW  signal.
	Since you KNEW  the frequency, you are able
	to FIND the weak signal.  Since you KNOW
	the CALL, you are able to verify that, YES, it is HC8N.
	AND, since you KNOW the exchange, you verify
	the report as 59910.

	IS  THAT  ALSO  CHEATING?

	It would seem to be the case by your definition.
