Jeff, I also find it amazing a proposal like this is being given serious
consideration.
But then I have recently been amazed that certain elements within the
amateur community wanted to divide 160 meters into cw and phone segments.
For what its worth folks, I am against inclusion of 6 meters, or 30, 17, or
12 meters in the ARRL HF contest rules. I see no value in such a rule
change and I am sure many others on this reflector will supply reams of
reasons.
But I would like to see the multiop 2/3 member rule relaxed so more new
contesters can be given the opportunity to participate without penalty to
the station owner/club.
How about some comments on that issue. Anyone listening out there?
CU all at Dayton and then WPX CW.
John, W2GD/P40W
P.S. Yuri, do the right thing, refund the money. Only after we "see the
money" will many of us begin to take you seriously.

The use of 6 meters would be especially humorous during a
TEN METER CONTEST! Who came up with this brainstorm?! DUH!
