I agree Randy. How in the world would you enforce this rule? If you want to social distance just don't allow any multi-op's this year.JeffSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -- Original m
John, That's not really a very good analogy. A rule like this isn't really enforceable. How do you prove someone is conducing their multi-op in this way? We all know COVID is a much debated issue. T
If someone wants to do a multi-op and remote to a specific station location it's pretty easy to setup. I operated WX6V's station remotely (from GA) in CA in the CQP this year. I got his station setup
Why make this decision four months before the contest? I think some of these contest sponsors think everyone lives in the dark ages and depends on printed media for information. This could be communi
"Who will enforce this rule?" You guys will. Will somebody figure out a way to game the system? Most likely. There's no big prize money here, and the vast majority of radiosport enthusiasts are hones
Mike, Because you are an ARRL Director it probably would've been a good idea for you to just stay out of this discussion. You're sharing information that only someone who is on the PSC or an ARRL Dir
Field Day isn't a contest Look at the CQWW results on 3830 this year. Probably just going to be team RHR and a couple of others, and maybe some who entered M/M to free themselves from M/S rules. Is t
Ria, I don't understand why you are focusing so much on M/M? They are a very small percentage of the entities in just about every DX contest? Do the rules have to be written to appease them? M/S an
Ria, You are making the assumption that MM operations have the most operators. That's not true. With lockouts, in-band radios on run band and a radio on every band you aren't running on all the time
It would be nice if the guys who operate from VE8 or VY1 would just go around and call stations. Since VY1AAA and VY1JA are gone we are left with stations that aren't really seasoned contesters. They
I was hoping with as divided as our country is right now that politics would stay off this reflector. It's seems to have invaded our life's in everything we do for personal enjoyment such as entertai
Current WPX Rule: /3. Classic Operator (CLASSIC): The entrant will use only one radio, no QSO finding assistance, and the one radio must not be able to receive while transmitting. Operator Assisted e

Why even bother to have a distributed category? It's so EASY to setup one station to remote into. In fact I did it with someone in CA who wasn't even setup as a remote station beforehand for the Cal
Ed, I think you're right since WPX is more of a run contest because everyone can work everyone. Multipliers are important but most find you when you're running. Here are some stats I calculated using
Bud,With all due respect I checked the CQ WPX database for the 2020 contests for both modes and there were more SO unassisted entries on both modes then there were for SO assisted . In fact on SSB th

"The Classic Overlay Category was reduced from 36 hours to 24 hours, after the inaugural run in 2020, to make it consistent with the Classic Category duration in CQ WW. I believe this is sound as man
Dick, If that's the case then why don't they just get rid of the SOA category instead of the SOU category? My good friend KR2Q knows that I backup my statements with numbers. Mine come from the CQ W
