Mike,
You may very well be right. I know for a fact there is a lot of cheating
during at least the big contests; power out being probably the most
offended. Now with the up and coming software radios that will allow for
two operators on the same transceiver, it is going to be hard to know who is
who. Of course, it will save the cost of extra rigs for each band so one
person can be tuning while the other is operating. I've heard schedules
being made by operators for other bands for the multiplier and that used to
be against the rules. Apparently that isn't true any longer. Spotting,
too, I think is something that shouldn't be allowed but just like 10
kilowatts of output can't be caught, spotting could never be discerned.
Just as broadcast radio is slowly moving to cable and internet connections,
ham radio is eventually going to do the same thing. Probably not in my life
time but it will happen. Don't get anywhere near certain frequencies on 80,
40, and 20 meters during a phone contest either or you'll be threatened with
a long rope, haha.
Phil.
