Gentlemen, My 2?.
This is nothing new. The rumour says contesters have been using USA/EU SDR's extensively for a long time. I cannot prove anything, so don't sue me. Just to check it I connected to W4MW (I think it was) SDR the other day and wheew I heard C6AGU working USA at about 1030 UTC. Obviously it is a lot easier than building and maintaining long receiving antennas. My feeling is that the availability of the modern technology is a temptation which many cannot resist. But they say they are only using what is available - so tell me why someone operates such a system if the outcome is not accepted well? Earlier these SDR's had a built-in delay and I think an obligatory (ar at least recommended) 1-minute delay would solve the cheating problem but still would leave the door open for any other experiments. 73 Steve HA0DU _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
