Greetings-
I have a question. During the 10m contest & CW SS, I was posted in the
"multi-single" category because I ran with packet. Okay...no problem.
However, I am curious...do all the "serious" single ops REALLY run without
packet, or am I just the only one that will admit it?
Yes, contesting is an "honor system" thing... but I find it incredulous
that all the single ops DON'T use that packet screen. Many don't, to be
sure, but it still makes me wonder.
Has the two-rig single op station eliminated the need for packet?
Comments?

There really isn't anything I can do to help. What I would suggest is
the following:
o Subscribe to the list from Compu$erve by sending a message to
cq-contest-request@tgv.com that says
SUBSCRIBE
SET NOMAIL
This will subscrbe the Compu$erve id to the list, but not deliver any
mail to it
o Continue reading CQ-Contest from the Ericsson account, and post messages
only from the Compu$erve account
An alternative at the sysadmin/policy making level (we do this at TGV) is
to have *all* hosts identify themselves with the same host name in the
From: header. Although the machines all have various host names, like
Cone-of-Silence.TGV.COM, Foghorn.TGV.COM, and Leghorn.TGV.COM, all the
mail looks as though it originates from TGV.COM, and actual host called
TGV.COM is set up to route incoming mail to the appropriate places.
Good luck.
