Hi,
Does everyone understand what the original post said? I didn't at first,
but what I think he said was:
A DX station puts a fake spot for, example, 9H1EL (pick any call W/VEs
would be working in the ARRL DX) on the clusters and then goes to that
frequency and calls CQ himself to run, having attracted people to the fake
spot.
It's an indirect way of spotting yourself.
I don't think that can possibly be allowed for any station, Assisted or
not.
BTW, UT is Ukraine.
73,
Kermit

It seems like a couple of Russian station are cheating using the cluster.
I operated AB unlimited over the weekend and was checking spots the whole
weekend.
As the contest progressed over the weekend semi rare mults were worth
QSYing to. Over a dozen times as soon as the call appeared on my band map
I
QSYed to it only to UT0U merrily CQing away. (There I named a call!)
Another U station did the same thing but I forgot to get his call. The
calls
spotted were semi-rare mults like (9H1 etc), but rare enough to attract a
crowd. Once would be a coincidence, but it happened many times. Every
time
there was no hint of the station spotted. Pure out and out cheating!
Did anyone else see that behavior? The only way to stop this crap is to
put pressure on them.
