A resolution at the July ARRL Board of Directors meeting pointed to

contact include contemporaneous direct initiation by the operator on
both sides of the contact. Initiation of a contact may be either local
or remote.
They might want to start enforcing this with several of their midwest
SCMs who have been running nearly fulltime BOTs on 6M FT8 for well over
a year. They have been complained about to the League by serious
weak-signal 6M ops.
