[UK-CONTEST] Club Calls Results

[Berni G0IDA]

Pete,
   
  I don't see it as a scam but as looking at the rules and applying tactics if that is indeed what clubs do. Since there is clearly no limit for Club Stations in the rules then every club is open to put on as many or as few CS as they see fit in my humble opinion.
  I also wouldn't see a problem if the rules were changed to say that only one CS can be used.
   
  Can I ask you why you think it is a scam?
   
  All the best,
   
  Berni
  G0IDA
   
  PS We can discus at the club next Wednesday, would be nice to meet you.

  Hi Berni,

Do I gather then that you're quite happy with the hypothetical scam that I 
anticipated?
