Yes, Chad, the permutations are enormous. I suggest that ARRL and CQ
publish _IN ELECTRONIC FORM_ all of the information about station setup
that they have. All that is necessary is to adopt a consistent
representation for the data (each could have its own, just as
long as the data are consistently organized for each contest),
compress it, and put it on a/the BBS or somewhere on Internet. I
don't think there is a privacy issue here, since the entrants are
granting permission to have results published. At that point, we can
all compute our way to our own conclusions.

>SHALL A TWO-RADIO OPERATION (in S/O) BE SO ANNOTATED IN THE RESULTS?
I still believe that the practice of cq'ing on a second radio should be
banned by the rules of these contests. It is a waste of spectrum space, and
it is a lot of WORK. I thought this was supposed to be FUN!
A lot of people don't understand the issue of more spectrum space, making
comments such as "but only one radio is transmitting at a time, how can it
use more spectrum space?" As an example, consider late Sunday afternoon in
Phone SS. 10 and 15 are dead, 75 is still closed. Everybody in the contest
is concentrated on 20 and 40. A two-radio station is calling 1500W cq's on
both 20 and 40 meters, using duelling voicekeyers. Those TWO frequencies
(and anything within +/- 3 Khz of those frequencies) are not available for
anyone else to use. Wait until the non-contesters and anti-contesters wake
up and see what's going on here. The ARRL is going to take a lot of heat
over this issue sooner or later.
Danny, thanks for bringing up the issue. I hope you at least mention my
views in your CAC deliberations. I think we can take a lesson from NASCAR,
which imposed horsepower restrictions when safety and the enjoyment of
racing were jeopardized by state of the art advances.
By the way, I'll have a two radio setup ready for SS. I'm definitely NOT
looking forward to using it, though. I'm getting forced into using it to
stay in the top ten. There's nothing I'd like to see better than having it
outlawed. 73.
