What gets me is the one who has a fantastic antenna farm but still has to resort to a tube with handles when he doesnt get thru right away with the store bought amp. The signal increase is dramatic and he is a regular on the forum.

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.
