All,
Can someone with greater wisdom enlighten me? The CW and SSB WPX contests
limit the single operator time to 36 hours of the 48. But in the CQ/RJ WPX
RTTY contest, single operators can only have 30 hours of operating time.
"Single Operator stations may operate only 30 hours of the 48-hour contest
period." I would have thought that the operating time would match the CW/SSB
operating time of 36 hours.
(Of course, I would have thought CQ would at least list the contest as one
of their sponsored contests on their web site, silly me. Let's change it to
the RTTY Journal WPX RTTY Contest and reflect which group is doing the real
work. But that's another story...).
This is my first WPX RTTY contest (I usually do the ARRL contest, but am not
this year) and wonder what the reasoning is for 18 hours of off time.
Especially when trying to promote activity on the low bands with extra
points.
Thanks...Scot, K9JY
