Or as I said earlier, the postings to 3830 can be made at any time, but
they don't become visible to anyone till after the log submission deadline.

The only way to stop this other than intimidation, which I think is
uncalled for in contest that we do for fun and a piece of paper or
plaque, would be to require entrants to declare their intentions prior
to the contest, thus locking them into a specific category. Now as
others have said things change during a contest that could end up
changing your classification. Then what? DQ? I would hope not.
CR3 exemplifies the argument to judge all logs under all categories
that their log would be acceptable under.
When my friend WB0IWL/N0RK passed away I entered Multiop because that
is what we did in Sweepstakes to honor him. Is there something wrong
with this? I hope not. I thought it was a great way to honor my
friend. When I went down to V47 in the 80's as a 17 year old punk, I
found out someone else was competing on SSB during the contest so I
changed my mind and went Mixed mode by making a handful of CW
contacts, I could have made none and just claimed mixed. Gosh should
I send back my certificate?
Who is being harmed here? Was there another CR3 MM? If so do they
really deserve a plaque if beaten by a M2 station?
Category switching has been going on a long time. 3830 and the
internet has made it a bit easier to track.
I see no real issue with this. I have a hard time saying they were
unethical or it was unsportsmanlike like. If the rules allow it what
is the problem. If people believe that the rules should be changed,
great but that was not what was brought up.
Why was this operation shamed in public when there are many other
stations known for using excessive power and other discretion and
those calls have never been called out in public?
