I bet if I was to download a large enough sampling from CQWW SSB 2016
contesters open logs, (and knew what to do with it) I might find other W, VE ,
DL & I’s (common mults) lost the same rare M-S, M-2 Carib mults.
All I have is a very small sampling from a few of my local guys. I know my way
around a computer but wouldn’t know how to really analyze the data.
There should be some kind of thing built into the CQWW’s log checking software
to flag a large number of NIL’s of the same (rare) M-S station.
Whether there is or not, I don’t know. Probably not.
If there was such a thing, if 500 people who submitted logs were reported not
to be in the log of HI4XXX, then that should make someone at CQ(WW) sit up and
say “hmmmmm”, what is HI4XXX up to; that can’t be right!
(HI4XXX is a completely ficticious callsign)
A number of you found out TO7A……..someone good with computers, spreadsheets and
whatnot who has that type of skills could potentially do the same with the
open logs of everyone, then some of the rarer Multi-Single type stations and
prove one way or another if I am way out in left field or my observation has
any validity.

This kind of scrubbing to meet the 10 minute rule is akin to rubber clocking
and should not be allowed. This is where the recordings should come in handy.

A couple of the locals (and many of you, I am sure) found that we are not in
the logs of a couple big-ish M/S's and M-2 Caribbean stations logs for the
latest CQWW SSB 2016
Both of us are very very careful with mults and have very low LCR % errors.
(0.4% NIL's) (14 calls out of 3112 QSO's)
At first I thought maybe they just fat fingered our callsigns, but it was
too much of a coincidence so we went digging.
We saw the open (public) logs and see some big gaps (where our QSO's should
be at) and 'surmise' their logs have been scrubbed of common, non-mult
contacts to meet the 10minute and only work mults QSO rules for M-S & M-2
operations.
Should THIS really be allowed? If I work someone in good faith, I certainly
don't expect to be scrubbed from their log because they were cheating.
I've seen it all now.. Do I have to say "59 - 5, please don't scrub me from
your log" ;-) <tic>
Now *I* am paying because others are cheating.
