Seems to me the final judge in all of this is the guy who stares back at you from the mirror every morning. There are a million ways to game the rules and outright cheat ... even in ham radio, where the rewards for a "win" are pretty abstract. If the guy gazing straight back at you is comfortable with your operating practices, how I feel about it is pretty irrelevant. We can preach about good sportsmanship and high standards until we're collectively blue in the face but, so long as there are people whose operating philosophy is "the end justifies the means," we're wasting our breath. At the end of the day, whether my logs, QSLs and awards reflect an honest effort or mere "scores" empty of other significance is something that matters to me (and the guy in the mirror). YMMV.

73,
