Topband: WEB SDR's

[HA0DU Steve]

Gentlemen,

My 2?.

This is nothing new. The rumour says contesters have been using USA/EU 
SDR's extensively for a long time. I cannot prove anything, so don't sue 
me.
Just to check it I connected to W4MW (I think it was) SDR the other day 
and wheew I heard C6AGU working USA at about 1030 UTC. Obviously it is a 
lot easier than building and maintaining long receiving antennas. My 
feeling is that the availability of the modern technology is a 
temptation which many cannot resist. But they say they are only using 
what is available - so tell me why someone operates such a system if the 
outcome is not accepted well? Earlier these SDR's had a built-in delay 
and I think an obligatory (ar at least recommended) 1-minute delay would 
solve the cheating problem but still would leave the door open for any 
other experiments.
