I can think of no better way to keep more than a few casual operators from
further participation in CQ WW.
A lifetime ban? Because someone knocks on my door in the middle of a
contest and demands entrance to my shack? Because I somehow implicitly
agree to this by making a few QSOs?
No!
I get what you want to do... be able to spot check suspected cheaters on the
fly, in the act. But what you are proposing in specifics is way too far
reaching, and the penalty for non-compliance is far worse than the offense.
I have no problem with the concept... but this particular proposal?
Absolutely not.

Hello.
Some thoughts on the CQ WW Observer program.
A modification should be done to this rule by:
Stating that an entrant for just the fact of entering the contest on a
casual or full time manner agrees in advance to be visited (with no fore
notice at all needed to be communicated by the organizer), by a person
designated by the contest committee.
The entrance should be done with a camcorder running at all times and
inspect every corner of the ham radio related installation (and the
basements too in some cases - well known cases).
Failing to allow the entrance of the observer is grounds for life-time
banning.
Unless this is done, as proved by signal levels on 80 and 160 meters.
People giving crap about others will continue to run 10 and 15 Kw without
any feeling of guilt at all, au contraire, they will keep to think they are
smart, clever and even worse, they will keep thinking they are really
winning something!
Vy 73.
