Hello all
For my opinion ham radio is a hobby, and my personal goal is to improve
my skill to achieve DX contacts. The rules of the game are known for
every one. All of us are volunteers on that game.
Many people have the religion that DXCC Honor Roll is the key to open
the doors of glory. In

Why should the general listener be punished because of some cheaters. A
delay is not necessary; we just need ethical contesters.
This is also no worse than contesters who use DX clusters or DX spots do
locate DX stations.

Speaking as one who lives in the US, there used to be a 275 mile (approx 450km)
limit for counting QSOs for DXCC. If you moved more than that distance, you had
to
start your DXCC over again. Personally, I think that was too restrictive but
removing
the limit entirely is worse! Conditions from

Bob,
Would you have us believe that ethics, integrity and honor are optional?
People have been disqualified from the DXCC program for less.

FWIW - I am not a contester or an awards collector but I am a serious dx'er.
Technology concerns aside for how the various new things can be abused, I
really think the single issue affecting ham radio is poor behaviors. Whether
senseless pileup calling, illegal

Hi Brendan,
This all seems unethical.
To me these are bogus QSO's.
This is a radio hobby, not a professional business. If the radiocontact isn't
possible, so be it.
Better luck next time and perhaps even more motivation and fun then.

Of course it's wrong.
Why not take the radio all the way out of it, use Skype or CQ100,
and call it radio?
I'd be interested to know what the sponsors of the Top Band awards have
to say about it.

absolutely an ethical violation!
in a contest of course most rules forbid it.
perhaps that's a different game, with different rules like talking

What country are the people really working with their radio?
There is not a two way exchange of information with someone in a
single country - therefore - no QSO. The DX
Why not just use SKYPE? Could have a packaged service which includes band
noise, QRM, etc. Like Dr DX but via SKYPE. QST can do a full tech review. For
once it may be meaningful too.

Who among us is surprised? Almost all of the new technology tools (SDR,

make QSO's that would not otherwise be made. I personally have no interest in
working DX that way. It removes some of the challenge that drew
