It is amazing to me, how some people jump to conclusions without deep diving into the data. Some just look at some log lines and feel free to say whatever, as if that alone would mean anything at all
When I looked at the log I estimated less than 100 S&P QSOs total out of more than 8,000 contacts. Did I mess up and there are really over 600? You have the computer skills to say for sure. How many
Hello Jose, I'm curious as to whether you've really found the smoking gun here. At 0638, after six minutes of exclusively 40m QSOs, presumably during which he's also tuning on 80, he finds OH0X on 3,
Stan and Kelly Don't take me wrong, but I'm not going to elaborate more on TO7A log. I was not involved in the checking of this log, I did not see the material presented by the log checker(s), and as
José, These are exactly my points also. I'm NOT defending Dim as being innocent. My opinion or feeling means nothing and may be a surprise. Instead I am defending everyone's right to not be penalize
With all due respect to Randy and the WW committee, it seems the entire case boils down to two questions: How probable is it that a guy with 15 million points is going to ignore an email threatening
Totally agree Kelly, Thank god this is not a hanging jury. Presumption of guilt on the background of circumstantial evidence - or worse: "This cannot be right because I cannot do it" is a terrible re
Hi, If you write the rules only for "serious contester" with big unlimited stations, you will end with only 50-100 participants from 20-30 countries. Not a very funny contest. If you want the contest
Problem with emails Eh? Maybe proof that did not have internet service? Anyone tried to travel from Russian occupied Ukraine to Martinique and back and be in full contact with Emails? Took me full da
If we want young people to become new contesters, or middle age people just finding the hobby to become new contester, then it would seem prudent that situations like these remain confidential betwee
Hi, Jose. Very professional investigation. Could you spend some more time to investigate this example of non-assisted entry. QSO: 3532 CW 2014-11-29 1000 K1DG 599 5 NP4Z 599 08 0 QSO: 3540 CW 2014-1
Jose What you have described I have done myself. I have not done a lot of SO2R but sometimes I would tune a second band for multipliers and band map them with the second radio, just the mults, and th
Note Randy's first email to Dim is dated 3 months after the contest. So, not having internet access on the way home to UT from FM isn't an issue. He had 5 days starting March 6th to respond. Did anyo
A five day window that is a random number of weeks or months after a contest is not a reasonable window. "Random" as in "sometimes log checking takes more or less time." If we knew these emails were
A theory here... Dim's CQWW CW 2013 was quite amazing as well, almost winning, but coming in second, barely behind P40F (op R5GA) and ahead of CR3E (op CT1BOH). TO7A's 2013 score is an amazing accomp

I'm not going to second guess what happened in the email chain in question, but having just done three business trips in 2.5 weeks including one speaking engagement before a crowd of 1,500 people and
It takes 90 days from the end of the contest until the CQWW results are due at CQ Magazine. Given that we need almost 60 days to process the logs and investigate the suspect logs, how much time shoul

Hi Randy, thanks for the info on the timelines. I know that they have become compressed over time - owing to demands of customers (i.e., us)! I am not privy to the process that you undertook. Have yo
