A cheater might use a SDR somewhere as a receiving station and work DX
despite a deaf radio, crowded band, key-clicks, local qrm or whatever
limits his ability to copy that weak one he knows (from the cluster) is
there. All he needs is enough power and an antenna for transmitting. If
he is clever, no one will ever know he cheats.
This is not working dx. If your own stuff can't do it, don't use someone
else's stuff.
