[RTTY] Multi-Single Roundup Rules

[David G3YYD]

The reason I have been given by other contest organisers for the M1 band
change rate limit is to stop people using M2 but claiming M1. Personal view
that is disingenuous as I see no difference between SO2R and M1 other than
using multi-operators as long as only one TX is on air at the same time.

I have gotten email from people who would like to see the M/S rule changed
for the ARRL RTTY Roundup, specifically the 6 band change limit in any clock
hour. You know the routine; you get 5-6 people over for the Roundup and only
one can really operate. The others can only make 3 contacts every hour (each
time you change a band and go back to the original band you were on, that's
2 band changes). It does not promote the multi-single category to limit it
in such a way.

What is involved in lobbying the ARRL to change the rule to the one used in
Sweepstakes where "Multioperator stations have no limitations on band
changes"?

I will not be spearheading an effort to get the rule changed since I don't
have a dog in this fight, but I will be supporting any effort to have the
rule changed in order for multi-single station operators to have more fun in
the Roundup and to make it more enjoyable to those operators.

Jay, was this one your original rules for Roundup? Maybe you can explain why
it is like this in the first place.

Thanks,
Don AA5AU
