Gator,
Thanks for commenting.
Casual ops on digi only will not cause you any dups on SSB or CW.
The intent of the 3 different mode contacts per band is simply to
increase activity. As you know, without a major Eskip opening on 6m (or
Tropo on 2m), it can get very lonely especially on Sunday afternoon.
If a station I worked on, say, CW, earlier in the contest calls me on
SSB, "<Call> FN00" is all I need to say. And, maybe, "thanks for waking
me up".

Hello Folks:
So if I do not wish to participate in the "Contest with in a Contest",
I'm still stuck with wasting my time possibly working two dupes each on
6M and 2M, and one dupe per band on 222 and up? C'mon....why encourage
loading up participant's logs with dupes?
Everyone needs to realize the digital genie is out of the bottle, and
many people, especially a number of casual participants who used to fill
our logs on SSB/CW, will now have to be worked on digital modes or not
at all, cuz they ain't gonna do SSB/CW. We may not like it, but that
is the way it is.

1. Permit multiple contacts, in different modes, per band; specifically
A. THREE contacts on 6m and 2m:
one CW-only (in the CW-only portions 50.0-50.1 and 144.0-144.1)
one FM, SSB, or mixed, and
one any form of digital;
B. TWO contacts on the higher bands
one CW, FM, SSB, or mixed, and
one any form of digital.
