[SECC] CAC and changes to the ARRL DX Contest

[Mark Luhrman]

Hi all, There has been a lot of talk about this subject. Everybody has their own 
ideas on this subject. I have read that entering contests are not about winning. 
Tell that to the guys that have spent a lot of money on antennas, equip, etc. 
Plus setting up stations on islands, what not. In sports, teams want to win a 
championship. Contests are about winning, period. There are some that do 
participate in DX Contests, so that they can work new band countries, etc. Why, 
because this is when a lot of DX comes on the bands at the same time. Then there 
are those that say leave it alone. Most of these are the NE Stations. There are 
some that say doing a point system by distance would be more fair. I tend to be 
more on this side. What are the best ways to make this a better contest, I have 
my own opinions. The bottom line though is that the FCG and other contest groups 
should voice their ideas to the CAC. This is the way things get changed, laws, 
politics, etc. What bothers me the most not many of us actually want to take on 
change. This is in my opinion why America is falling behind, too much 
complacency. Very few people will actually go against the grain, and the ones 
that do are very few. Mark W4SVO
