Topband: CQWW a bust this year

[mw_comercial at wp.pl]

Hi,

isn't the same station that were disquialified in the last CQ 160 exactely 
for using RX web sdr on other continent?

There is no need to talk abut miracles, there are at least two easy ways to 
check if someone from EU is using remote RX in USA:

1) listen to the suspicious station on some web sdr in USA. In normal 
situation there will be stations the guy is not replying to.  If he 
amazingly replies to all you can hear on sdr, it's 100% he is also there.

2) the guy replies to W0, W5 stations (a case from my land) and does not 
reply to local EU callers. Or replays "later".

And off course, you must be sure you have good working rx antennas at your 
QTH. Also, be aware that on 160m 500km can make huge difference in 
propagation.

Delays in responding or doublings are not always a proof.
