Topband: New Modes, Systems, etc

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

People have been cheating forever and it will never end.  Cheaters need 
to be dealt with and ignored.  They cheat to get an award they have to 
pay for.  Cracks me up.  They cheat to win a contest where the prize is 
a 50 dollar plaque.  I don't compare what I do to others.  My DXCC is 
mine alone.  What anyone else does with their awards is up to them.

I can't be too bothered by something I have zero control over.  I will 
not let cheaters ruin my fun.
