[UK-CONTEST] Contest cheats? and Nostalgia

[Andy GD0TEP]

I saw (or heard) such an event on 4m/70mhz. A SV station who was pinning my
S meter yet couldn't hear me (or plenty of others for that matter) tried to
work a guy in CU, quite an event on 70mhz and perhaps a record for the VHF
bands... BUT, I remain convinced as others do that it wasn't a QSO. The CU
station gave a reasonable report, i.e. he could hear him, just. The SV
simply judged his TX periods to match... Almost. He doubled a little bit,
but he seemed happy that the QSO was complete.

Such a shame as had it really worked, it would have been a distact record
for sure.

I'm not sure it applies only to contests. Some of you may know that I am a
160m fanatic. I have always felt very uncomfortable about the stations who
arrange a sked with some rare country. Particularly those stations who know
they are loud (hmm) everywhere and that the distant station will almost
certainly hear them. So all that has to get across is the report in one
direction for a 'QSO'. That's cheating in my book.

On the nostalgia subject I appear to be even older than most - I was A2693.
