I would like an Assisted or Unlimited category added to the contest. I enjoy using packet when the rules permit. Packet isn't just for working new mults. It is also useful for finding stations you ha
Yes, but then those who use packet have to enter as a multiop, and compete with those stations who have relief operators. Also, nowhere in my e-mail did I say that it was broken, and I'm not trying t
The category would be SO Assisted (or Unlimited), not just SO. Since it would be a separate category, it would not be in competition with SO. If ALL single-ops were allowed to use packet (not as a se

Dick, What statements have been made by the ARRL that says they no longer consider RTTY a legitimate mode? I have seen nothing that indicates that. They are simply renaming the certificate to reflect
When I'm the S/P station, I prefer the run station to use line 3 also. I would, however, leave out the CR/LF at the end, but do use one or two spaces instead. Line 3 gives the receiving station a 2nd
