Wouldn't it be nice if contest operators could use the search function on the
cq-contest web interface?

Hi Tree,
People make all sorts of comments on all sorts of things here.  It is difficult to know who "has authority" vs. "has an opinion" on any given topic.  This list may not be the best mechanism for archiving such information.

If sponsors had a blog for each event (or class of events), I'd bet that we would be smart enough to go there.  We're smart enough to go to a sponsor's website to get rules -- why not interpretations and decisions, too?  Until that happens, there will be an underlying feeling of agitation through the unequal application of rules interpretation.  I can give examples, but I think you probably get the drift.

Because a common area for such information doesn't exist, we ask the same questions over-and-over on e-mail lists hoping that we can discern the difference between the gold-like answers and the iron pyrite.

Of course, I'm just a fan of the Radio Sport offering what I hope is taken as constructive input (and not criticizm by any means).

Regards,
Ev, W2EV
