hi Scott - I have pored over the rules and poked around the website. I can only
assume that the lack
of mention of packet either way means it is understood one way or the other for
WAE contests. I'm
hoping someone who actually knows what the custom is in this case can educate
me.
I have never had the chance to work WAE and look forward to getting on for it
and working lots of
stations. If it is permitted, it's also a chance to practice for a future
contest in which I do plan
to enter using packet, as permitted by the rules of that contest. I don't
subscribe to the notion
that packet is inherently "unsportsmanlike" and sometimes enjoy including it in
my contest toolbox
when it is permitted, explicitly or customarily.
