[CCF] Janne SM3CER & CQ WW RTTY / mixed SAC

[Kari Hirvonen]

SAC SSB contra CQ WW RTTY



Gentlemen / Grabbar

I've been following the topic debate with a great interest. Maybe the 
world has moved already in a direction to recognize the development
on contesting field as well.

The fact is that SAC with regional event status hardly in the future can 
defense it's two full weekend occupation against the global world 
leading RTTY contest.

If you don't realize that, try to create a new challenging test to the 
CQ WW CW or SSB weekend. All three mode (3) CQ WW's are  w o r l d w i d 
e  and hold their important values.

BTW. Jan SM3CER says in his mailing he is an active RTTY man who 
understands this mode and set a great value to the RTTY.

I don't quite follow him. After doing a lot more than 1000 Contest Qsos 
during year 2003, can not find his call sign ever in my RTTY logs.

Maybe Janne is still more CW /SSB oriented guy having some narrower 
point of view to the growing RTTY Contesting.

I strongly flag for mixed one weekend SAC and appreciate
the CQ WW RTTY the other weekend.

I would like to work and take part in SAC, too.  Whenever have to
make a choice I prefer the RTTY.

Janne, låt oss klart se vad händer på band, hur testerna skall utvecklas
och anpassas till framtidens nya krav.

Så nu är det dags att förnöja med en förenat SAC weekend, och låta
växande CQ WW RTTY ta sin plats i en av världens viktigaste test.

Jag röstar för en förändring i SAC regler i alla fall.

Vore det nyttigt i SM att fråga saken från SARTG's sida ?
Sartg organiserar 'ett slags SAC RTTY' i varje august.
