Several have written to ask if assistance is allowed in The CW Open. The
answer is: Yes.
"While packet and similar 'help' such as skimmer and/or reverse beacon networks
is allowed, please indicate use of such 'help' on a voluntary basis in the
log. Entering as "SO Assisted", or any multi-operator category will be taken
to mean: single operator with assistance. Results may indicate this status."
There is still time to register your team so spread the word to your club and
list the CW Open invitation on your reflectors. Please visit the following
link for the rules:
