Good idea, but not reasonably possible to execute.
Is CQ going to set-up a cut off date that you need to notify them of
your operating intentions? If not, is someone from CQ with a "stinking
badge" going to pound unannounced on someone's door and demand entrance
any time that is convenient to CQ to inspect what is going on?
What if someone had planned to do a two transmitter multi effort, but
it is learned that only three people can show up during the contest
weekend at different times,and you would rather do a Multi-single,.
Would that change be allowed?
Or, if you had had planned to operate as SOAB HP and you amplifier
dies just before the contest, you are now precluded from operating as
SOAB low power?
This proposal does nothing to stomp out the gross cheaters that are
now prevalent in radio sport contesting.
Most of these clowns are not in areas that are easy to access and are
there exactly for that reason.
Is CQ going to send people to zones 9, 33 and 35 to monitor
operating?
CQ in the past few years has stepped up it's efforts to investigate
multiple signals and other dubious practices to insure the cheaters do
not have it so easy.
This proposal as written, will cause a lot of problems for the honest
operators and needs to be withdrawn as submitted.
