Subject: [CQ-Contest] Further statement on BeacoNet
Please forward to any reflector as you deem appropriate:
After additional review and conversation The ARRL has come to believe
that BEACONet is similar to an automated CQing system. It facilitates
the solicitation of contacts. It uses a band that is usable in the
particular contest, and QSOs are made on such radios. It uses a mode
that is acceptable for contacts in the particular contest. BEACONet
seems to comply with the letter and spirit of the contest rules.
Although this might be a "new" concept in V/UHF contesting, it doesn't
seem contrary to the rules. In view of this interpretation, it appears
to that BEACONet does not violate any contest rules, and therefore the
use of BEACONet is permissible.
If you have questions regarding this rules interpretation, please
contact me at n1nd@arrl.org
Thanks and 73
