Never knew this Chat service existed. I created an account and in under 5
minutes logged on. Used the "Chat Review" option from the menu and all is
revealed. So that's how SOME of the Big Kids play the game. Pretty amazing
that an operator with a station of that caliber still feels the need to
blatantly cheat in order to stay ahead. 

Seems like the "aging of the contester community" represents a small risk to
the sport compared to stuff like this. If this doesn't qualify for a DQ then
nothing ever will.

Here's an excerpt from the low-band chat room
(http://www.on4kst.com/chat/start.php) over the weekend.

Could someone explain to me how this could possibly be legal, ethical or
acceptable behavior under the contest rules ?

The call of the guilty party, a multi-op station owner, has been removed,
although he certainly deserves to be outed.

K4JRB, CQ 160 contest manager, I hope you are paying attention.

73,
Steve, N2IC
