When contest committees change rules just for the sake of changing rules it
is a real hardship for an ole-fart, like me. The changes to the CQP county
abbreviations seem to have no rationale. The old system of 3 or 4 letter
abbreviations worked very well for years, many years. If a contest
committee wants to change rules to improve or enhance a contest I'm all for
it. Over the years I've seen several rule changes to CQP which have made no
logical sense including these new 4 letter abbreviations.
One of the nice things about contesting is if you don't like a particular
contest you are not required to participate. An option which I'm now
exercising.
