Another way of looking at their score is that despite having fewer ops and transmitters they did better than the other M/M teams. It would be a problem if they ran M/M and then claimed M/2. Also, the

Is there any other sport where a competitor can start in one category, then in the middle of the race...or even after the race...change their entry category. I can't think of one, which seems to indi

The multi-unlimited rules state that "the six contest bands may be activated simultaneously". It is not mandatory that they be on all six bands simultaneously and I doubt any station is. Perhaps they

Based on existing rules, they do qualify for either category. However, it is a sleazy thing to do. Other sports are irrelevant to this situation. Only thing that can be done is change the rules for f

That's because there are very few competitions that have multiple categories simultaneously competing on the same playing field, and those that do mostly have mutually exclusive criteria. Besides, wh

Oli, Doesn't it seem odd to you that a team that has won M2X for many years, all of a sudden on the day the logs are due secretly says nothing and submits their log as MM. No one even knew until Mart

It seems to me that the real issue here, that no one is talking about, is that the MM category had small enough competition that a M2 with a relatively small group of ops (smaller than a number of M/

Interesting Joe Rules do not require you to "declare" an entry category. It seems, CQ WW rules encourage category shopping especially when it comes to single band entries. They specifically require s
