I had always thought there was some rule that said a transmitter could not be
used with more than one callsign during the contest period (with the
exception of a family station). However, upon reading last year's CQWW rules
I could not find that - must only be ARRL contests.
Even if there was such a rule I suppose some would argue that multi-ops are
one big happy family anyway. And then what if the muti-single consists of
the husband, wife, brother-in-law, little Junior, . . .
Hmmm. . .

I've seen a couple of messages over the last week or two that probably
could have saved some bandwidth by being directed to the right place,
and a few messages from people who said they hadn't received responses
to questions asked of ARRL (thru letters?).
You can reach the ARRL DXCC folks at: DXCC@ARRL.ORG
and those in the ARRL Contest Branch at: CONTESTS@ARRL.ORG
Should those not work to your satisfaction, you can reach Chuck Hutchinson,
K8CH, who manages both areas at: CHUTCH@ARRL.ORG
Going up the line you can send e-mail to Dave Sumner, K1ZZ, ARRL Executive
VP at: DSUMNER@ARRL.ORG
Hope that helps - 73 Tom K1KI 2349723@MCIMAIL.COM or TFRENAYE@ARRL.ORG
(If it would help, I have a longer list of ARRL HQ addresses accessable
through Internet addresses and would be happy to post it - abt 300 lines)

If its just a "lousy" certificate what are you getting so bent out of shape for.
As for Steve and his money. What money are we talking about? He is a volunteer
and as such he does his CQ chores AFTER his regular job and his family
obligations.
>his mouth is. I really wouldn't mind so much, but the fact that this is
>my first win (Multi Single, 2 land call area) REALLY frustrates me.
>How long does it REALLY take to print a certificate???? I can understand
To print a certificate probably not very long at all. The time comes though when
you have fill it in, roll it up and put it in the mailer, address a label
and stick it on
the mailer, take all the mailers to the postoffice, buy the stamps and then put
them on the mailers. THAT takes time.

Get away with what? Get away with having hard working dedicated people doing
a thankless job for them?
Maybe your right. Maybe its time they got a little thanks for what they do
or are
you volunteering to take on the job.
>I have received NOTHING. No certificate, no explanation, no letter. If
>this is the way he (and CQ) treats the little guy, then I have no choice

The big guys don't them any faster either believe me.
Your choice of course.
Enjoy your "lousy" certificate when you get it.

Hi,
The IRC's deal in Venezuela quite confusing, sometimes you have to really
fight with the postal worker to accepted. Is ilegal to send money ( CASH)
through the mail. The exchange of $ in YV land is = 160 Bolivares to
almost 200 Bolivares, all depend on the goverments mood.
Another you may be concern about is that Venezuela at this moment is
pasing thru a situation that is not good. My recomendation is that "Yes
send 2 IRC's, and try to send your QSL card via express register mail,
which would be 90 % safe that they will recive without been open.
When YX0AI operation we receive at lease 400 qsl OPEN>>>> so just
imagine.
Hope I can help on any way on this subject,
73 to all from
