Following up on Jim's (N6TJ) comments regarding packet (I was one of the
folks that mailed him privately in complete agreement with his views on this
subject).
My personal feeling is that the rule makers of the contests that count
(CQWW - both modes) prefer the mult-op categories to be less competitively
based. Or, it would appear they prefer the opinions of "participants" who
far out number "competitors".
Either way, by leaving packet in the CQWW the rule makers have (by their
lack of intervention) changed the complexion of the multi-op categories from
competitive categories to more participant-based categories.
Competitors in the US should make their opinions known to one of these
slugs: K1AR, K1DG, N2AA, N2NC, KR2Q, W2RQ, N3ED, N3RA, K3UA, K3ZO, KM3T,
W3ZZ, N5KO, N5NJ, N6AA, K6NA, N6TR, N6TW, N6ZZ, W7EJ, N8BJQ, N9RV, or W0UN.
