    Hi Keith and all,<br>
    <br>
    as stated here <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://hamaward.cloud/wwa">https://hamaward.cloud/wwa</a> all that stuff will be
    repeated form June 30 to July 6 this year, and next year (!!!) from
    January 1 to January 31 and from June 29 to July 5... So it's not
    finished!<br>

          I’m inclined to agree with Kin here, if these are being
          generated and fed into the network in the way he’s describing
          it then it’s fraudulent and we should be blocking it.<br>
          <br>
          This award thing is due to end in a couple of days, it’s been
          almost double the size this year compared to last year and I’d
          love to see an analysis of how many ‘WWA’ spots have been
          posted this month.   They appear to run events all throughout
          the year (which people pay for), but this is the biggest.<br>
          <br>
          The technology behind it all looks impressive but they do
          appear to be abusing the cluster network.   The handful of
          hours of potential self-spotting pales into insignificance
          compared to this.<br>
          <br>
          With the WWA thing ending in two days, there’s a chance this
          gets forgotten about until it happens again next year.<br>

          <br>
          Hi,<br>
          <br>
          Since the 27th, I have started seeing spots appearing from my
          EA3CV-3 node.<br>
          <br>
          It is impossible for these spots to have originated from my
          node, as it is<br>
          password-protected.<br>
          I fear that other nodes may be experiencing the same issue.<br>
          This started after we raised concerns about a node that
          couldn't identify<br>
          its connection and used a time string in the comment
          field-remember? Well,<br>
          now that node is no longer visible, and the spots no longer
          contain that<br>
          string, yet multiple spots are still being sent.<br>
