Much the their credit, the SEDXC updated their contest rules
for what will hopefully be a very popular DX contest.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] [PVRC] A DX Contest on the WARC bands -- A terrible
idea
It is really no different than CQ magazine's DX Marathon other than it only
runs a month and does sum DX entities from each band together, but one could
argue that the DX Marathon is just as much of a contest on the WARC bands since
they (and 60 meters) are permitted for scoring.

Frank, is it as simple that they made the mistake in calling it a
"Contest"? If they called it an "Activity tracker" or "QSO Party" would
that have been better?
The ARRL encouraged activity on all bands and modes in 2014 with their
Centennial QSO Party. Including awarding points for WARC bands. And it
didn't cause any problems. http://www.arrl.org/centennial
