[NCC] Multiple Calls in CQ 160

[Bob Liddy (K8BL)]

Jim,

I strongly agree. Perhaps an hour or two between uses would keep the situation
from being abused. There are always people that will try to be "clever".

Doesn't the 1TX/1Call Rule become a penalty for Family Stations or Club
Stations or Remote Stations? Wouldn't the Rule force those folks to swap out
a main rig for their standby rig or mobile rig?? 

You would think that the Organizers of Contests should be in favor of MORE
Calls being available for Q's rather than less.

BTW, I like the idea of a second Call on the second day.

While any contest can get boring as it goes on and you run out of new people to work, a single band contest such as a 160 meter contest, can be especially bad for all but the most serious competitors.
But do note that CQ contests, unlike the ARRL contests, do not have a "one transmitter, one callsign" rule. So you're free to start over fresh using a new callsign from a previously used QTH or radio.
I've done this before in CQ160, using one call on Friday night, and a new one on Saturday night. It sure beats tuning by people, or having people tune by me, who I worked the first night.
I suggest you don't get crazy with the concept - lining up to work a buddy with five callsigns in a row is indeed unsportsmanlike. Take off at least a few hours before returning to use an old call. But using multiple calls giving others chances at more QSOs is a feature, not a bug.
