[CQ-Contest] Time to update contest club eligibility rules to accommodate remotes?

[Naumann, Robert, W5OV]

Jim,

What you're describing as a "waiting trap" is no longer true.  That issue was resolved by ARRL this past summer.

Station and Equipment Restrictions 

STTN.1. A transmitter used to contact one or more stations may not be subsequently used under any other call sign during the contest period, except 

	a) for family stations where more than one call has been issued, and then only if the second call sign is used by a different operator.                    < as it always was

	b) for remote stations used by individual amateurs that have limited or no access to their own stations.                            <  New this year
	This rule does not permit any operator to use multiple calls at the same station to manufacture contacts to another 
	station in the contest. 

73,

Bob

So we won't need to listen to all those California clubs complaining about DX contests. They just need to suck up every east coast remote station!   :-)

Though the ARRL rules still have a waiting trap for people using remote stations: under their rules if more than one person uses a remote station (as a single op) during a contest, their entries are disqualified by the one transmitter/one callsign rule.

Tnx John.

I was confusing it with ARRL and someone else confirmed that my confusion was correct.  NOW I get it.  Tnx!
