I agree, as long as it also applies to a station that is operated 
remotely. If we know about cheaters and are certain of it, why are their 
identities not made public?

I strongly disagree with W2GD on one thing though. DX Contesting is an 
East Coast Old Boys' Club, and while it makes them happy and boosts 
their egos, it is NOT good for contesting in general. There is VERY 
little interest in DX contesting west of the Rockies in proportion to 
the numbers of hams in each region. It is LONG past time for DX Contest 
scoring rules to be changed so that those outside the East Coast are in 
the game.
