For all who stuck it out to the bitter end in SS, it is clear that it is time for a rules update for ARRL contests, specifically doing away with general rules 3.3 and 3.5: 3.3.An operator may not use

A rule change to permit the appearance of additional activity, by manufacturing contacts under a second or third or fourth callsign? Doesn't strike me as a good idea. I think a better idea would be t

I guess most people started at contest start and were done in 24 hours? I had very few hours to operate; I thought I'd get a significant number of QSO's during the last couple hours. I heard nothing

Out here in W6, Rusty, W6OAT, is credited with the strategy of NCCC members trading stations for one of the two days of SS. To do that, of course, requires spare rigs and spare callsigns (like one bo

I am not so thrilled about such a change also. There are already way too many clubs that only exist on paper so someone can have another 1 or 12 callsigns to use. This would just promote such activit

Yeah, Sunday really sucked from out in KH6. Mandatory off time due to lack of any useful prop to the mainland means I'm QRT after around 0600 - 0700Z . That means I need to be active late Sunday even

How about making SS more fun by allowing one qso per band?  I watched a fairly good 15M band dry up simply because there was not enough activity.  The signals were plenty loud from all directions, ju

There are a lot of other contests that do that. I like the uniqueness of SS. I think that point should stay the same. At this point in the solar cycle, I guess it's going to be mainly a low band cont

Allowing two qsos seems like the best idea to me so far. If one contact had to be on the high bands (20/15/10) and one on the low bands (40/80/160) it would be a little fairer to different geographic

I like the idea of two QSOs split by time, as it means stations with the big low-band antennas arent necessarily going to run up the rate meter all over again. If you split it by high-band vs. low-ba

The fact that one can only work a station once in SS is a great equalizer, making it possible to compete with modest antennas from nearly anywhere in NA.  I love NAQP, but propagation can put some pa

When I was throwing out ideas on improving QSO totals and activity level, I floated three ideas - all of which involved granting a second QSO.  I've re-thought the high band v. low band split and now
