Jim Time to put up:
 

QST’s article stating that the group you sometimes travel with worked 
themselves for 98 percent of their QSOS.
June 08 QST issue.  Mentions it in a neutral fashion, but confirms it exists.
I have clipped and pasted the team efforts and posted them showing how people 
in the same teams have the exact same number of QSOS and Multipliers, then they 
allow on person to work three extra people to win by a greater margin.  People 
don’t notice it because its not a 3 point victory it’s a 3 x the multiplier 
point victory.
 
The sad thing is that the group you have traveled with and many others will not 
put up or knock it off. They refuse to voluntarily share their logs and hide 
behind the defunct skirts of the ARRL to say they don’t have to make logs 
published.
 
Some of us play Texas hold’em for fun others make a living at it. Most of us 
are not dumb enough to hand the pot off with out seeing the winning cards on 
the table. Well unless you fold on the issue like the ARRL is doing.
 
The only way to effect change at this point is to embarrass the ARRL about the 
true nature of the ham activity above 2.4 ghz.  The FCC needs to know the lack 
of skill it takes to work the car ahead of you in a caravan on 10 ghz.  This is 
how we police ourselves when we tried to get this settled for years and tried 
to allow traditional roving to co-exist with people who only work themselves. 
 
Maybe its sub conscious but that may be the reason my ARRl awards are not 
framed and my 3905 century club  one is.   
 
I need to save those web pages of wayne overbeck for the FCC and those who need 
the spectrum.
