[CQ-Contest] to K3BU

[Martín Monsalvo LW9EUJ]

Dear K3BU:

Are the organizer of these traditional contest insane??
I'm sure they are not. (not listed is the AA, which also alows packet for
single ops)
There is no need to separete single op. from single op assisted. This
situation allows bad hams to take advantage of packet, and claim unassisted.
Why to continue this way if we can solve it?
I guess you are involved with the organisation of Tesla Cup, wich does not
allow the use of packet by single ops. So tell me how will you do to find
out all those who were using packet against the rules?
There is no way.
Records have been set using packet, and/or other types of assist (including
on the air by friends), and they were not detected.
Regards.
LW9EUJ

Are you insane?
What kind of single operator is it? (Being assisted by army of operators?)
There are categories for packet crap, Assisted, Multies, etc.
Don't screw the little sanity we have in ham radio!!!
