Hallo Contester,
ein sehr interessantes Thema...
Wurde ja auch schon in dem CQWW Contest Committe update von K3EST auf
CQ-Contest angesprochen und vorher kontrovers diskutiert.
(siehe http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/cq-contest/2011-October/095883.html)
Ich würde das ganz gerne mal hier zur Diskussion stellen:
Wie seht Ihr das ? Empfindet Ihr es als "unethisch" sich nach dem
Contest anhand von Notizen (während des Contests gemacht) und anhand
von Audio-Aufnahmen (Wintest Contest-Rekorder) einzelne QSOs noch
einmal anzuschauen bzw. anzhören, und ggf. Tipp- oder Hörfehler zu
korrigieren ?
