[CQ-Contest] Single-Op - Stop the Rot.

[Paul O'Kane]

Here's what's happening in some contests this weekend.

  JIDX SSB Contest Rules.
  "All stations can use the spotting network."
  "Single-operator must do all contest related things by himself."

  OKOM CW Contest Rules.
  "DX cluster support is allowed for all categories." (Including SWL)

  WAE RTTY Contest Rules.
  "DX cluster support is allowed for all classes." (Including SWL)

Single-op, if using external spotting, is no more single-op than
fly-fishing would be fly-fishing if using nets, or gliding would
be gliding if using engines, or orchestras would be orchestras
if using backing tracks - etc. It changes the nature of the beast.

What do you think?

73,
Paul EI5DI
