Armed with audio evidence from this year's contest, organizers of the
Russian DX Contest this week announced a series of DQ's in their 2011 test,
and vowed to crack down even more in 2012. 


"After SDR-recordings check we have to say that number of MS and M2 stations
broke contest rules having 2 signals on the same time on the same band for
many hours," read the notice on the Russian DX web site, which included
actual recordings of the stations involved. 

Disqualified in the 2011 Russian DX Contest were: 


.  RT3F (Multi-Single) 


.  RF4M (Multi-Single) 


.  RF8C (Multi-Single) 


.  RA3DXU (Multi-Two) 


.  RK4WWQ (Multi-TWo) 


"A very unfortunate thing is that these contest operators didn't even try do
make a single attempt to stop these 2 signals on the band and go by the
rules," said the Russian DX announcement. 

Organizers then went one step further, saying that in the 2012 Russian DX
test, "complete stereo recordings of every QSO in the contest" will be
required. 

You can listen to some of the audio evidence as presented by the Russian DX
committee at  <http://rdxc.org/asp/pages/dq.asp?YEAR=18> rdxc.org. 

The disqualifications in the 2011 Russian DX Contest came after organizers
started using Software Defined Radio (SDR) recordings of the contest
weekend, in an effort to further root out contest cheating. 

It was part of a multi-pronged effort by the RDXC, which also included new
rules that required exact frequencies for every QSO made in order to receive
a top three finish, and specific listing of station resources for those
operating in the low power and QRP categories. 

No stations from the low power or QRP categories were disqualified after the
implementation of those new rules.
