[RTTY] WAEDC Rule Change ?

[Alex - YO9HP]

Correction: unlike WAE CW/SSB, in  WAE-RTTY the multipliers are the same for EU/DX and everybody is allowed to work everybody.But question remains: mixed categories or separate?

I just noticed an important change in WAEDC 2017 rules,which will apply also to this weekend contest.
As per rules, there are no separate categories for EU and non-EU:3 Categories

·        SINGLE-OP LOW

·        SINGLE-OP HIGH.

·        MULTI-OP

 My point of view is that, since the multiplier scheme is different andthe contest itself is not WW type, then we should not mix EU with DX in thesame category.
The above change is confirmed by recently published results of WAE-CW,where EU and DX are all mixed in the 3 above mentioned categories.

I sent a separate mail to WAEDC manager (DF7ZS) to confirm the new rule, but no reply yet.

See you all this weekend, in the QTC game.

 73, Alex YO9HP
