[CQ-Contest] A DX Contest on the WARC bands -- A terrible idea

[donovanf at erols.com]

Hi Trent, 


The Southeast DX Club is one of the most respected radio clubs 
in America and its no surprise that they've amended their contest 
rules. I hope they have a very successful annual event.

Looks like they have taken notice Frank, 

The link you provided says: 

"Where: HF/VHF (non-WARC) bands 6-160M. 

Each participant may enter a score for each of these bands: 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, 10 and 6." 

Cheers 

Trent VK4TS

The URL for the Southeast DX Club's badly thought out DX contest rules that include contesting in the WARC bands is:

I urge you to immediately state your objections to the SEDXC 
club president at: c.catledge at gmail.com 


Hopefully this very well respected DX club (at least until now) 
will correct their egregious error before Sept 1st. 


If no correction is made, all self respecting contesters should 
boycott this contest in protest.
