Field Day isn't a contest

A one year exception, an accommodation, just like field day where we
allowed home stations to treat it like any other contest and added
affiliated club competition.

Look at the CQWW results on 3830 this year. Probably just going to be
team RHR and a couple of others, and maybe some who entered M/M to
free themselves from M/S rules. Is that fun?

"As an example, a group of Minnesota Wireless Assn (Est. 1910)
operators could all stay home and sign “W0AIH” for the weekend instead
of using their own personal call."

Except that there will be no dupes allowed, all log software
networked, and realistically one per band. There are 6 bands maximum
they can play on. Multiple signals on each band still prohibited, so
realistically at most 4-5 ops at a time. It will be quite different
from affiliated club competition.

How is that so?

This scheme allows a group of scattered operators to operate from their home station as a 
geographically distributed “multi op” using a common call sign.

As an example, a group of Minnesota Wireless Assn (Est. 1910) operators could all stay home 
and sign “W0AIH” for the weekend instead of using their own personal call.

These are the same operators who, pre-COVID, would have gathered at “The Farm” 
for the weekend.

How does this give “more people the opportunity to play”?
