[SCCC] WPX Rule Change Poll

[Ed W0YK]

I agree that the main issue is precedent which may affect other contest rules.  However,  I don't think assistance is an advantage in WPX for competitive single-ops.  My experience in WPX RTTY is that trying to benefit from assistance is futile.73,Ed W0YK

The problem isn't justthat WPX has this rule in place, it's that the other contests will nowfollow suit most likely in the near future.1.  I oppose the change2.  I will operate less because of the changeOne thing I have been thinking about is coming up with a solution tocontinue on with the unassisted category outside of the contest sponsor. I haven't figured out the logistics yet,  but someone could create a groupthat would handle plaques and score listings etc.Bud has made it very clear that he doesn't care about public feedback. His response has been that he knows what he is doing and if your opinionis different you are wrong.  There are other high profile contesters thatare backing him and his decision and I really don't see himchanging anything at this point.73,Dan N6MJOn Tue, Nov 24, 2020, 1:57 AM cbruderer via SCCC <sccc at contesting.com>wrote:> Hi SCCCers,>> I'm sure you all know about the recent rule change for the CQ WPX CW &> SSB contests that eliminates separate single-op assisted and unassisted> categories, allowing all single-ops to use spotting assistance.>> I'd like to know what others think so I'm running an informal poll.> Please reply, either directly to me or on the reflector, and answer the> following two questions:>>> 1) What is your opinion of the CQ WPX CW & SSB rule change allowing> assistance for all single-ops?>> - I support the change.> - I oppose the change.> - I do not care either way.>> 2) How will this change affect your level of participation in next> year's CQ WPX contests?>> - I will operate more because of the change.> - I will operate less because of the change.> - It will not affect my participation.> - I do not know.>>> 73 & Happy Thanksgiving,>> Axel, KI6RRN> _______________________________________________> SCCC mailing list> SCCC at contesting.com> http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/sccc>_______________________________________________SCCC mailing listSCCC at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/sccc
