One of the alleged virtues of Amateur Radio is that we are
self-policing. I have an actual, living, breathing moral
dilemma to pose to contesters in the run-up to the CQ WW CW
contest.
I'm sure we are all pleased to know that there will be a
multi-op on contest-rare Sable Island during the CQ WW CW
this coming weekend. You can learn more about CY0MM by
visiting their web site, www.dipole.com .
However, you may not be aware of one aspect of this
expedition. You can find out more at

My inclination is to consider this combination injurious to
the reputation of this hobby with the radio regulatory
authorities in Canada, who licensed CY0MM.
Where, if anywhere, does self-policing fit in this
situation? If this is an appropriate circumstance for
self-policing, what form should it take?
