Too bad to see these activities being conducted during the contest. It will take all the credit away of whatever possition R36F achieves in the contest. Makes the only trusty competition we have so s
Martin, I went to your site, and the analysis doesn't suggest "nasty" to me. At this moment R36F is spotted 21 times more than the next competitor (the range of numbers for the "pack" right now runs
That's why it should be a CW-only contest - to maintain anonymity of the participants. Otherwise, it's just another DA0HQ-like fiasco. It will be interesting to see K1TTT's analysis. Barry W2UP -- Ba
I agree 100% with Hans. I see nothing at all "nasty". Could it be one station was just a bit louder than the others? If you were to do this 100%, there would be claims of fist recognition.. 73- Chuck
Howdy Hans. That's correct. 21 more spots respect to the second most spotted station. That's 21%. And that 21 % was produced only by Willy UA9BA and Igor UA9CDC. No wonder, since Willy publicly indic
Well, maybe UA9CDC know who is R36F, or like his voice or how he send CW, because according to this link he made 14 spots to R36F and only 1 for each R33A, R34P, R38O, R38X, R32F, R33M and many other
While it may not be "nasty", it's evident that something there is blatantly unfair. I estimate, and it's probably a conservative estimate, that one spot is worth at least 10 additional QSOs. One WRTC

Hi Martin, Thank you very much for Great Job you do R36F is on place 27 Propably he have more spots from UA9s because he is from UA9 and turning ant to UA9 more often? :-) Spots not help anyway like

I didn't miss the point. I just don't share your conclusion. Just to set my position: I believe that ANY spotting is too much, but the charge of "cheerleading" seems misplaced in this case. "Cheerlea

UA9BA spotted R36F 13 times. He spotted other WRTC stations a maximum of 6 times. UA9CDC spotted R36F 14 times. He spotted one other WRTC stations a maximum of 3 times, and others 0, once, or twice.
this is a prime example of why i have not turned my radio on for a contest in months. for me it's a hobby, not my life. some people just go too far with this crap and it really is sad. it stopped bei
Doug, I sure hope you're being facetious. Because if you're not, and someone seriously thinks that this is the direction that "Radio Sport" needs to go in, count me out. Personally, due to some last
Ron, this is only for the WRTC competitors, not everyone. For the WRTC folks it is beyond simply being "fun." It is serious competition. For most everyone else it is more than just "fun" and that's n
Why not just use voice scramblers? ;o) Seriously, all the WRTC stations I heard and worked were operating, they were making QSOs. I didn't hear anyone send "GL *insert name here*" or anything similar
