Re band changes and categories, I read the rules the same way Dave does, and draw a couple of other conclusions (these are *not* complaints, just observations): If you are a single-op and use packet,

OK David, Thank you very much. I am glad that I understood the Rules right, however something is (on my opinion) strange, like for example: "3.2.1 Power." What is this subparagraph for? It should be
The M/S scores SHOULD be lower than the single-op scores with that band change restriction in place. In this contest, unlike most contests, mults count once, not per band. Therefore, the primary use

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 Bill, you are right. If you want to use Packet - YOU MUST ENTER as a MULTY OP. SINGLE OPERATORS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE PACKET, end of story. (Time to repair broken furniture - to many discrepanci
My feelings as well, Jim. I would like it to go further and allow packet in any of the SO classes. 73, Mike, K4GMH _______________________________________________ RTTY mailing list RTTY@contesting.co
