Robert,
I have earned a 1x2 callsign. I do not wish to add 2 more characters
to my callsign just for a contest.
I certainly respect the right of any organization to have contest
rules as they wish. However, if I find those rules objectionable, for
whatever reason, I won't operate that contest.
I am sure your contest will be a success without my participation,
but since we are discussing it, this is one reason why my callsign
will not be in any logs.
See everybody in CQWW RTTY, if not sooner!
