Steve,
As I opined to Francisco, I think his representation of what the ARRL told
him as "they couldn't care less" was obviously biased and not an accurate or
complete representation of what they actually said.
Let's face it; the League is far too diplomatic to communicate such a
message to anyone.
That said, and not knowing the specific circumstances, I'm going to stick
with supporting whatever the ARRL did in this case.

Bob,
While what you say is true, back in the paper log days we would all sign a
summary sheet that included a statement like "I have observed all
competition rules as well as all regulations for Amateur Radio in my
country." A Portugese operator is much more likely to identify a violation
of "regulations for Amateur Radio" in his own country than anyone outside
Portugal. I would hope that contest committees would pay attention to these
kind of reports.

Francisco, While I am certain that the ARRL told you that the internal CT
licensing issue you raised was something they could not do anything about, I
am even more certain that they did not tell you that "they couldn't care
less". I believe the "couldn't care less" is your biased interpretation of
the fact that the ARRL has no influence over Portuguese licensing issues.

to complain about another CT station (due a violation of national issuing
special calls rules). For the fisrt time I made a complain to a contest
sponsor. I couldn't belive when I read the reply. They simply said that was
an internal CT issue, and they couldn't care less. That was my 1st, only and
last complain. In case you are wondering, the contest sponsor was ARRL. 73
