221. [VHFcontesting] Rules question (not anything to do with the usual problems) (score: 1)

All of ARRL sponsored UHF/VHF contests have the same format, and with a few tweaks, the same rules, scoring, and categories. There is no obvious reason to me for these all to be the same, except I as

Jim - I agree with you that General Rule 1.3 stifles a lot of activity. In addition to precluding effective mentoring of newcomers, it also prevents rovers from submitting a fixed or QRP portable ent

This isn't a rationale for the one entry rule, but it is a history, and perhaps a bit of explanation. It was not quite how I remember it. The rule prohibiting more than one entry per individual appea
