For my peace of mind and to avoid Ed's sarcasm in the future, I am copying
Dan Henderson with this email, he can tell us both if it's ok or not. What
say Dan?
Since I doubt Dan is subscribed to the SECC reflector I'll forward his
response when it arrives.
>From http://www.arrl.org/contests/cc.html
"One station can submit two entries-one on CW and one on phone in the
November Sweepstakes and the DX Contest.
All stations and all operators must reside within the club territory, which
is either defined by a 175-mile (282-kilometer) circle from a designated
area or one ARRL section"
I question the shifting the designated area for each of the SS weekends, I
just do not think that it is legal to do it.
It's unfortunate that some darn good operators may get left out sometimes -
happens every year up here in SMC land, those that are "out of our circle"
work hard to contact all of the in circle stations.
I'm sure there may be some that are questioning what a Yankee is sticking
his nose in "our" business. Over the last year I've operated from SECC
stations 5 times and will probably continue to do so a few times a year,
(Maybe even for SS sometime?) so I feel like I belong a little bit.

Yes, that is what I meant. Appreciate Jon's comments, but fail to understand
how this would be an "ethics" problem.
Perhaps someone can explain it. It's not covered in my "Sweepstakes for
Absolute Dummies"
