Well Andrew I like to deal with gentlemen in my life.If WWDX is not for
gentlemen then it is not for me.

Yes there is a way.We "gentlemen" must convince the organizer to add the
following sentence to
the final declaration of our summary sheet:
" and I have operated my station under the IARU rules and in respect of
my region bandplan"
CQ is an amateur radio magazine and it must follow the amateur community
rules
Do they want anarchy? I am sure they want the best for the future of our
hobby.
PLEASE NO FLAMES...........I am a good guy....;)
