Oh how strong I wish some people would finally understand that the DS
decoder DOES NOT FILL IN MISSING INFORMATION PARTS such as missing letters
of callsigns but tells the program which possible callsign combinations to
search for in the noise... the permanent repetition of incorrect statements
doesn't make them correct statements.

Hi All

with great satisfaction I saw the revised VHF General Rules by the RSGB
Contest Committee.
Surely a very important step forward for the advancement of RADIO during a
Contest. Not Internet!
Moreover, it is very interesting to see that ALL information must be COPIED
off air at the time of the QSO and on the band in use. Databases must NOT be
used to fill in missing information. 
So in my understanding, Deep Search Decoder in JT65 using the calls3.txt
file, is not allowed in Contest Operation also.

Check the Contest Committee web site www.vhfcc.org  main page.

Below is what RSGB Contest Committee has decided:

"The RSGB Contest Committee has revised the VHF General Rules relating to
the use of the DX Cluster and other spotting/chat networks (including
internet facilities for example ON4KST) in RSGB VHF and UHF contests.

The revised rules are listed below:

4i. The active use (posting messages, arranging skeds, self spotting etc) of
the DX Cluster and other spotting networks (including internet facilities
for example ON4KST) to assist an entry to a contest on 6m, 4m, 2m and 70cm
is banned in all RSGB contests with the exception of three IARU Region 1
co-ordinated contests (50MHz Trophy in June, 144MHz Trophy in September and
432MHz to 248GHz IARU in October) and the 144MHz Marconi contest in November
where permitted by the IARU rules for these contests.
You may spot a DX station as long as your operating frequency is not given.

4k. All information must be copied off air at the time of the QSO and on the
band in use. Databases must not be used to fill in missing information.
The DX Cluster, talkback channels etc must not be used for passing or
confirming any contest related information.

These revised rules take effect from midnight 30th April 2007.

To help operators understand these revised rules, a list of do's and don't
are listed below:

    * Do spot DX you have worked or heard when tuning the band for the
benefit of all.
    * Do use the DX cluster to help you find DX during the contest.
    * Don't use the DX cluster to help the DX find you.
    * Don't ask other stations that you work to "please spot me"
    * Don't spot DX you've just worked on your frequency.
    * Don't spot your fellow team member (if operating in team/multi band
contests eg UKAC, AFS, VHF NFD etc)."
