That is cheating and not grounds for disallowance from total DXCC participation
for all users.
Certainly I can do that for one QSO if I need to run to the bathroom or grab a
quick cup of coffee etc....but if you believe for a second that the FT8
software is designed to crank it up, walk away for a couple hours and come back
later to tally up your take as you describe you are showing your lack of
knowledge of WSJT’s design.
Am I suggesting that some are not doing that...no...not for a minute. Would I
suggest that all DXers are running no more than the legal limit when chasing a
new one or no more than 200 watts on 30 meters, or not using a remote station
element to gain an unfair advantage to add a new one...nope.
But it is happening...
Should we shut down the entire awards system because the possibility exists
that someone will cheat...I think not.
I for one think you should rethink your article before submission Alan...
Respectfully
