Hello,
Without referring to any of the particular cases mentioned in this
discussion I must say I'm a little concerned about the collective
punishment
aspect of the CQWW and CQWPX rules about the Red Card. From rule XIII of
both CQWW and CQWPX:
"If the entrant receiving a Red card is in a multi-operator category, all
listed operators are so affected."
Is this really fair? If an operator joins a big multi-op team to operate
for
a certain period of time and later the team leader or whoever submitting
the
log decides to alter the log the way that results in a red card then what
has that particular operator done wrong to deserve the red card?
Or the other way around - in an imaginary situation of a big multi-op
crew
one operator decides to unplug the PTT inhibit wire to work that rare DX
that he cannot get because the PTT lock-out system keeps getting in the
way
and as a result there are two signals on the same band. What are his or
hers
20 team members guilty of for receiving the card?
Have you ever seen the whole soccer team being chased off the field and
banned from the next 3 games when one player has received a red card for
an
unsportsmanlike tackle?
