[CQ-Contest] SS SO Unlimited question

[Eric Raub]

Sounds like a rule designed for the casual operator in mind. The guy who has
a modest station, and can't find those hard to find multipliers (from a
midwest prospective) ie. DEL, NWT, and the rare find Nebraska. To bad Nov SS
falls during the Cornhusker's football season :)

Besides...the more clean sweeps..the more mugs the ARRL can sell!!

73, Eric (KI0MI)
