That does come to the same thing doesn't it Pete?!
The point is, you make rules and recommendations to competitors but you don't practise what you preach or lead by example.
As mentioned yesterday, your recommendation is tantamount to shooting ones self in the foot to give away juicey information on a distant station or rare'ish multiplier to a fellow competitor. Since you made the faux par over DXC/KST that camaderie when the majority of competitors did share information has gone out of the window resulting in only non-competitors spotting DX and competitors waiting for the barer of such gifts.
The result of that now is dog eat dog, we've lost one aspect of friendliness that bonded a lot of like minded individuals together in the same VHF+ ship.
