[SCCC] WPX Rule Change Poll

[Jim Price]

As I understand it, there would still be a "classical" or whatever it's
called category for those who choose not to use assistance.  So perhaps it's
not an all-or-nothing deal?

I can absolutely see why this rule would be a good idea for a digital
contest (i.e. where modes like FT8 are allowed).  The lines between assisted
and unassisted get very fuzzy.  For CW and SSB?  Not so much.  

1) I guess I don't really care.  Need more info

2) It will not affect my participation.

Hey Axel,

This is also something I am very passionate about.   The problem isn't just
that WPX has this rule in place, it's that the other contests will now
follow suit most likely in the near future.

1.  I oppose the change

2.  I will operate less because of the change

One thing I have been thinking about is coming up with a solution to
continue on with the unassisted category outside of the contest sponsor.
 I haven't figured out the logistics yet,  but someone could create a group
that 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 opinion is
different you are wrong.  There are other high profile contesters that are
backing him and his decision and I really don't see him changing anything at
this point.

73,

Dan N6MJ
