[RTTY] BARTG Sprint Rules Questions

[John GW4SKA]

Hello Ed,

> 1.  The 2009 BARTG Sprint rules define four Classes (SOE, SOAB, MO and

No, it applies to SOAB. Not SOE or MO or SWL ... that's what it says!

No restrictions in the rules so do what you like; same with serial numbers.

I have just checked the rules on the BARTG web site and there is no mention 
of dupes.
We removed it as it does not apply with Cabrillo logs.
Maybe you are looking at old rules?

> 4.  It is stated that "U.S. stations must use correct call or suffix for

It only applies to U.S. stations. If it applied to JA, VE and VK stations it 
would read
"U.S., JA, VE and VK stations must use correct call or suffix for area of 
operation."

Hope you all enjoyed the test.
