I think this is usual the last time for many stations. I don't remember the call but a dxpedition to pacific told the same: many stations were heard them via sdr receivers. Beside this, even noone uses an sdr, i could always suspect another station for cheating this way because i could not ever heard a station. So the simplest solution for me is this: every sdr receiver should have a small delay (lets say 15 seconds) of re-transmitted signal. Everyone can make the same tests or enjoy the same pileup with a small delay without using it for cheating. Is this so difficult to be programmed? 73 Kostas SV1DPI
