And what is the defined "spirit of the rules"?  That is a pretty subjective term as everyone has their own opinion as to the spirit of the rules.  Obviously the ARRL doesn't believe that grid circling violates their definition of the spirit of the rules, and their opinion is the only one that counts..

And what is the issue here?  That you didn't win?  I am not attacking you personally Frank, but everytime this comes up, it seems that those most upset about it are upset because someone else won and they didn't.  Try moving to SW Oklahoma if you don't want to win.
