Sorry, Mike, but I gotta disagree on this one.
There is NO mention of anything in any rule that I have looked at that
expressly forbids selective calling. As I said in another posting, if you
want to enter SS and work nothing but MDC stations, there is nothing to stop
you from calling "CQ MDC only". If someone interprets that as a cry for MDC
and directs one or more to your frequency, that is not your concern. The
only way to eliminate it is to put it in the rules as a specific item.
