    There's a regular on a local 2M FM net whose sole report is what is DXCC Challenge count is, and how many of the Lard 'n Guano Islands he's worked over the last week.

    I literally know nothing else of the man.

    The whining has gotten worse, on the CQ Contest reflector, since many are anticipating, with dread, the upcoming release of the CW results.

    A couple of questions:

    How does CQ detect unclaimed assistance? Do they have actual recordings?

    What is 'self spotting'?

    How did they know the HG3 was running too much power?

    They busted a bunch of non-US stations for blowing through the 40 meter band limit. I find it hard to believe there wasn't ANY US stations out of band on 40 meters OR too close to the band edges on 20 or 15.

    Like Dave said, I can't believe CQ found only 2 FCC licensed stations with issues.

    Self-spotting is when you report your run frequency on the cluster, instead of waiting for someone else to report you. Universally poo-poohed.

    Ask OINK. He'll explain the evils of contesting and why contesting is useless.
