[CQ-Contest] Establishing a contest within a contest

[Aldewey at aol.com]

Pete;
 
In my last report to the ARRL BOD as CAC Chairman in January 2015, the CAC  
did in fact make a recommendation that ARRL Contest logs be made public 
starting  with the ARRL DX Contest.  This report, which is public record, is 
located  at:
 
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/About%20ARRL/Committee%20Reports/2015/January
/Doc_26.pdf
 
My intent is NOT to re-open arguments for and against this issue on  this 
reflector but to just let you know that the CAC DOES recommend a  number of 
things that are never implemented by the PSC.  If you feel  strongly about 
this issue, let your ARRL Division Board Member as well as your  ARRL Division 
CAC rep know your feelings.
 
If you have any questions about the operation of the CAC in general,  
contact the new Chairman - George, K5KG.
 
73,
 
Al, K0AD

How much  difference a decade makes!  Whenseveral of us suggested that we  
implement a CWAC to try out a 24-hour category within CQWW, Bob Cox  
angrily rejected the idea, saying that not a single QSO in a single CQWW  
log would ever be released.

How far we've come since! Now, if only  the ARRL would adopt the open 
logs concept, followed perhaps by the  Russians and Germans, we'd have an 
ample playing field for all sorts of  experiments.
