[UK-CONTEST] rules apply even when they can't always beenforced?

[Mark G4PCS]

Paul, I have no need to respond to such a personal attack, or such a misrepresentation of: a) my views, and b) the truth. I'll trust others to make more appropriate interpretations.

Carry on if you like, it does *me* no harm :)

Cheers, Mark

That's a surprise.  Here is someone -  

who, by his own admission, "is at the forefront of contest
technology, with the sole driving force of working DX".  

whose motivation for entering contests is or was "to work DX"

Who uses the ON4KST chatroom

Who admits that "making exact frequencies, locatorss and both
calls available to both ends of a link in real time makes for
more ...  erm.. well lets call them QSO's".

and who denies using internet-based communications systems
while contesting.

Really?

To avoid any doubt - that's a valid way to arrange or
facilitate QSOs for the purpose of working DX, but not
for SO entries (and possibly other categories) in RSGB
contests.

G4PCS says that "KST is a well-respected, self-moderated tool
used mostly by people who have a high degree of integrity when
it comes to completing a radio-path QSO." 

Once again, I see a few parallels with MPs - a well-respected,
self-moderated group of people who have a high degree of
integrity when it comes to completing expense claims.  :-)
