Steve,
My opinion is that whatever we say to the Triumvirate nothing will affect
them on their decision! As they did so with the DQed stations in CQ WW SSB
2016! They stick to their decision and period.....
So be carefull next CQ WW not be spotted by your friends, you might get
DQed without even noticing it.
