Jeff,  I also find it amazing a  proposal like this is being given serious 
consideration.

But then I have recently  been  amazed that certain elements within the 
amateur community wanted to divide  160 meters into cw and phone segments.

For what its worth folks, I am against inclusion of 6 meters, or 30, 17, or 
12 meters in the ARRL HF contest rules.   I see no value in such a rule 
change and I am sure many others on this reflector will supply reams of 
reasons.

But I would like to see the multiop 2/3 member rule relaxed so more new 
contesters can be given the opportunity to participate without penalty to 
the station owner/club.
How about some comments on that issue.  Anyone listening out there?

CU all at Dayton and then WPX CW.

John, W2GD/P40W


P.S.  Yuri, do the right thing, refund the money.  Only after we "see the 
money" will many of us begin to take you seriously.

        The use of 6 meters would be especially humorous during a
TEN METER CONTEST! Who came up with this brainstorm?! DUH!
