OK.  That's enough.

There was apparent evidence of off-air communication with VE3XIN and T48K
in approximately 60 suspicious spots of T48K.

To confirm this and other claims of innocence, SDR recordings of T48K were
evaluated.

During this review, several instances of T48K requesting to be spotted
over the air, directly in violation of the rules were noted.

At that point, no further investigation was necessary and the
Disqualification confirmed.

Those are the key facts of the T48K DQ.

There were no hunches, feelings or other unsubstantiated reasons for the
T48K DQ.

No "friends" spotted anyone a few times leading to a DQ.
