[CQ-Contest] Field Day thought ...

[Bruce Makas]

even better than just a station for non-contesters, how about modifying the
rules to give non-licensed individuals the opportunity to try ham radio
also? Possibly a way to recruit new hams?

Ron, et al:

Yep... no more Novice/Tech stations in future FDs.

About 6-8 months ago, I sent a similar suggestion to K5UR, for
consideration by the ARRL. I've not heard a peep from Rick, so I'm not sure
whether it was even brought up or not.

I sent it to Rick because, since FD's not a 'contest' it's not under the
pervue of the contest-related committees, and Rick's the chairman of the
group (I forget which it is) that might have some say about how FD rules
are changed.

I posted the proposal on this reflector before I submitted it, asking for
comments from those on the reflector. I think I received two (2).

If I can still find it, I'll drop a copy of my proposal to you directly.
