It's like the guys we know who operate illegal power. Several of them are
well known contesters, and some are well known 160 guys. Others are packet
cheaters in contests. No one ever confronts these guys, at least
directly...including me.
I was once accused of using illegal power in contests, through a third
party while I was out in KH6...untrue. However, the guy who made the
accusation never came to me about it.
Unless you are in the guy's shack while he's doing whatever offense it is,
you never can know for sure if he is doing it. Result, it's hard to get in
the guys face about it.

I question how many good operators would have the... [ahem]
"courage".... to out the offenders. As I say this I am thinking of
one particular individual whose operating standards are consistently
deplorable. This was often the topic of discussion on the DX chat
sites until the individual in question joined the room. To my
knowledge no one has ever said one word to him about his operating.
He was simply welcomed with open arms.
Honestly there is so much that goes on these days it makes me wonder
if I really want to be a DXer any more. It is all too common to see
remarks like this: "I thought I heard him send two letters of my
call so I sent a report. I will check the online log and see if I'm
there." By my standards and what my elmer taught me, that is not a
QSO even if he is in the log. I certainly would not count it.
That's all I'm going to say on the subject of poor operating.
