[CQ-Contest] Field Day SO2R

[Radio K0HB]

How about, in this-contest-which-looks-like-a-contest-but-isn't-a-contest, we set up a new space called "Rogues Corner" where Amateur Radio guys (remember them) could try wild and crazy crap that would get them a lifetime DQ in the Professional Contesting Circuit?


"Everything not specifically prohibited is mandatory", or "Advancing the state of the radio art".  




"We put the AMATEUR back in Amateur Radio"

The rule as quoted does specifically refer to two operators using two transmitters, so it does not rule out SO2R.


Besides, if all someone is interested in is getting on and operating, the only rules that matter are the laws of that person's country. The presence of any operating event, be it Field Day or WW, only imposes rules upon those who enter by submitting logs. 


And since the results of Field Day depend on more than maximizing QSOs (you get points for publicity, for satellite contacts, for operating a GOTA station, for copying the special FD bulletin, etc.), it really is just about operating, promoting ham radio and fostering goodwill.


Perhaps we could get back to the "goodwill" part?
