Hi Igor, Good idea - I like the definition of "single-op" as a single person controlling the tools, no matter where those tools are physically located. Multi-ops could be several people with tools at

I'd mostly go for those rules too. It would prevent things like using a 2 meter packet connection to cross your station's boundary line to your neighbor's house, which is connected to the full Intern

IMHO, the wording of the rules could be better but there's no inherent conflict. The first paragraph of the rules says that no one is permitted to use Internet or radio systems (other than the contes

The ionosphere is live 24/7 too, and it covers the same geography as the online world. I think there's two other factors at work. First, contests today are all mostly the same, and haven't changed mu
