Hello:

    Just out of curiosity, why has there been no comment about this kind of
thing from ARRL or CQ ?  We've been hearing about this for a while.  I view
the above as being de facto evidence of cheating, although a defense lawyer
would argue otherwise, I suppose.  The defendant would need to explain how a
bunch of W's easily accessed a Spanish IP and made spots from there.  Has
anyone considered contacting the stations by email who have been spotted
like this ?  My particular recent favorite was the verified Silent Key LZ2
who spotted the JT1...

                                            Stu            KC1F
