You should watch his daily RHR web stream. He's not a happy camper about the people attacking what he did. I can't say that I don't blame him because the ARRL DX Contest rules don't really address wh

Thanks Ria. As I only casually operated, I don't have much of a log worth submitting, so I wasn't aware of that. That answers the first question. The second remains open. 73, ron w3wn --Original Mess
All logs submitted are here: http://contests.arrl.org/logsreceived.php It does appear as though he has submitted a log. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing

Ed, if I may... Do we know if W2RE has actually submitted a log for the contest? If he hasn't, then I'm not sure what the Contest Manager can actually do. By no means do I condone rules violations..
I wanted to update this group that I have formally issued a protest to the ARRL Contest Program Manager and the head of the CAC. Listing 10 violations of the rules that were documented on the video.
I'm certainly active in contests! Either as W7VO, AA7CR (now WW7E), and sometimes as W7RM. Ria, N2RJ, was on the P&S committee last year, but has moved over to the Admin and Finance committee this ye
Additionally, W6RGG, N1ND, W3IZ and W9JJ are in the committee meetings. With that said, I always found the structure to not fit well. PSC handles ARES in addition to contesting and DX rules. However,
Sorry my list was outdated. On the ARRL web page it lists K0BBC, N4MB, K5UZ, W7VO, N0DAS and WB4UDQ. I've worked a couple of these guys in contests. Jeff Jeff In practice it worked this way but this
"I am not sure how ARRL goes about rule changes since it seems like only the BoD can make a change and the CAC only works on things they are asked to handle." In practice it worked this way but this
The event in question that started this thread happened in an ARRL contest. That puts the onus on them to sort it out. Contest rules can only be changed once per year in advance of each contest. Ther
CAC has been discussing this internally. I do suspect that any evaluation of specific rules violation is a separate discussion from rules changes that can happen. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________
Ria, I am a member of the ARRL Contesting group and am waiting for this incident to be discussed there. My question was "Are the sponsors listening?" It would seem to be to their benefit to be monito
Hi Stan ARRL has its own contesting reflector on groups.io and several of us monitor it. Contacting your director or CAC representative will get the discussion going. The CAC monitors the group discu
I agree with Peter that the sponsors of the major contests now need to get together and hammer out some new rules/categories. Not just for this current situation, but with a better eye on leveling th
Ed has it 100% right here. I'm good with innovation, but don't you dare pretend to compete with folks who are keeping within both the letter and spirit of the rules. I would strongly support the addi
Reasonable and well balanced comments in general Ed. However, I tend to question the second part regarding "Learn to use the cluster and effectively manage the balance between running for rate and ch
I think the best way to select deserving for WRTC would be to have one or two WRTC like competitions (virtually with the same rules as WRTC) in each selection area. That would allow those ops who is
There have been a lot of posts concerning these changes and it looks like I am in the minority, but I like the changes. First, the ultimate goal remains unchanged. Operate in the designated contests
If we did some planned tests, as I proposed in the great distance based score debate, it would get us some rough idea over time how dipoles (which are stable and easy to predict) compare from various
I agree in many points with Christian. Beside this the contest commitee must show its power. K1TTT makes a report after major contest. How many of them were punished? Noone. But if we don't punish fo
