Hi Joe!
What is the CAC supposed to do? The CAC does not make the rules and
does not enforce the rules. The CAC is an advisory board only.

If you do not like the current rule, please send your suggestions to your
CAC rep or to CAC@arrl.org for input discussion.

Why are you tired of seeing big scores? Lots of stations make more than
2000 QSOs in Phone SS. That is fantastic operating skill and station
design, not cheating or bending the rules.

Congrats on the nice score! You should be proud of what you did, not what
someone else did.

This and more is possible. Very possible.

Let's not get upset here. The CAC knows what its job is. Your point is
less effective when you attack on dead parts of the CAC.

The ARRL is running a great contest that thousands of people show up for,
make some QSOs, have some fun and send in logs.

Joe, I am sorry, but you've got it wrong! Ask N5TJ how much money he
spent to win the CW SS this year. Not that much. However, he does have a
a skill.... he is a fantastic operator.
See you in the Contests and
Good Day!
