[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Rule Changes

[Steef]

This makes no sense to me!



If you work SO2R, why would I send the call of the running station on the
second radio?

He knows his own call!!



And someone who has a N1MM SO2R ESM setup will have to change everything.

This is a real CQ WW bust for me.



Please excuse my English and Ignorance.

Q: “What you describe works for the station that is running because it must
send the call sign of the station it wishes to contact. What about for QSOs
made while tuning the band (search & pounce)?"

Most entrants answering a solicitation from a Runner (calling CQ, QRZ,
TEST, etc.) do not send the call sign of the station they are trying to
work. They simply send their own call and then wait to see if the Runner
answers them. If no call sign, other than their own call sign, is sent by
the “answering” station, there is no way to verify a match with what is
logged. **
Historically, highly competitive entrants spend most of their contesting
time running. Therefore, this rule is intended primarily, but not
exclusively, for those entrants who are highly competitive in their
category of entry.* *
