I'd like to sell a bridge to anyone who believes they can win 
a Team Leader position by operating in VP9...

While we're piling on (with good reason) VP9 isn't anywhere.

And Minnesota is in the same group with West Virginia. Did they just throw darts at a map?73, de Hans, K0HB“Just a Boy and his Radio”™ On Wed, Jan 2, 2019 at 09:28 Karel Matousek <ok1cf at atlas.cz> wrote:Hi, 

UA6 it is a completely different world than here in central Europe. I cannot believe that someone could invent such stupidity and put OK/OM and UA6 into one group. I agree with Rasta OM3BH.

Hi guys, 

Does anyone have a worse idea to include UA6 region together with OK, OM etc.... ??? Why not with UA9 ...? 
It would never have occurred to me.

It is up to the organizers, but in the past, this only meant that all 
single band scores were compared to the all band scores. Not that a 
single band entry could win and get the full qualifying points unless 
their score was higher than the top all band entry. 
It is possible in a contest like WPX for a single band entry to have a 
higher score than the all band entries. In this case, it makes sense 
that the single band entry would get the full qualifying points. But, 
in most cases, it will be the all band score that sets the standard. 

Regardless of the past, you are correct that the rules as written do 
not specify this clearly.

Bill, 

Exactly the same struck me... 

A station with a decent antenna for any single band, can quite easily 
reach 
Full Score in 12 contests, while the very skilled SO2R All Band 
operator, 
quite easily can end up not on full score in some of the contests, 
due to 
much higher competition, with the result that the Single Band guy can 
grab 
that TL ticket quite easily. 

Or Bill, do we both miss something in the “small text” of the 
rules?
