[CQ-Contest] CQ Sponsored Contests are really good contests...

[Scott Currier]

Let's face it, the CQ contests are really good and they're a lot of fun as they stand today. 

No matter what CQ or other contest sponsor does someone is going to complain about it.  

I think that if you're going to decide if rules make sense or not you have to look at them with the sponsors contest objectives in mind as well as whether or not the rule creates any rewards for things that really shouldn't be rewarded such as being 10 feet outside of a population center. 

I also think that if you want to change a contest you need to first look at the objectives. If the change is not covered by the objectives or is contrary to the objectives. The first thing that needs to be changed is the objective or objectives. First make it clear to everyone what you are trying to accomplish then talk about the rule changes necessary to accomplish it. 

It's not my intention to give CQ a bad time. They're great. I do subscribe to CQ and POP Comm as well.  

I'm just using them as examples because thats what others have been talking about. 

73 and good contesting.
