> Dear Fellow Amateur:
>
> We are writing to you because you have been involved in organizing an
> IARU member-society HQ station operation in recent IARU HF World
> Championships.
>
> As you probably know, a controversy developed with regard to the 2009
> event. As a result, the ARRL - as the administrator of the event on
> behalf of the IARU Administrative Council - has announced that it will
> not adjudicate HQ station logs in the future.
>
> We realize that a number of HQ station teams, especially in Europe,
> regard competition as one of the main reasons to participate. We
> understand that there is interest among European HQ teams in accepting
> responsibility for adjudicating HQ entries. We welcome this and will  
> be
> pleased to cooperate. We will be glad to share the submitted HQ  
> station
> logs and the results of our crosschecking with a committee selected by
> HQ station organizers themselves.
>
> While the problem of "unique" QSOs is a difficult one, we hope that HQ
> stations will not be discouraged from making QSOs within their own
> country. This raises the visibility of the IARU member-society within
> its own country, which supports IARU objectives. However, all
> participants - including those who are not competing - should be
> encouraged to make as many QSOs as they can with other stations and  
> not
> just with their own national team. Also, all participants should be
> encouraged to observe the rules that limit an operator to the use of  
> one
> call sign, and that limit the use of a transmitter to one call sign,
> during the event.
> To provide greater recognition to more HQ teams, perhaps ways can be
> found to recognize outstanding contributions to the IARU HF World
> Championship by measures other than total score. For example,
> recognition could be given to the HQ teams who provide the most QSOs
> outside their own country, the most QSOs outside their own zone, and  
> the
> most QSOs outside their own continent. Recognition also could be given
> to the efforts of smaller member-societies that are not able to  
> activate
> as many as 12 operating positions for the entire 24-hour contest  
> period.
>
> We welcome your thoughts on these suggestions.
