Subject: [SECC] GQP changes


All,
  I have had some feedback that the basic rules are OK.  I have put in a
couple of items that were commented here.  We can refine more as we go.

  On the start and end times from, I would like to hear from the rover guys
on the item by Gary WB4SQ about a 2 PM local start time.  The rovers carry
the ball for GQP.  Their great cooperation/competition really make a lot of
our counties available and their comments are requested.

  On another topic,
  I propose that we allow three types of entries, SSB, CW, and Mixed.
  The awards for these entries can be discussed further,  but as a base I
propose that in place of plaques for the new entries, certificates be issued
for the appropriate awards as are now issued.
  I also propose that Ed's comment of needing 3 entries in a category/class
be met for an award to be issued be adopted.  This may trim the total award
set a bit.

  This allows us to make the change, and fill in as time goes on for plaques
sponsors.  It also allows the current plaque sponsors to keep their great
support, or to change it as they may wish.

  There may be some backfill on the rules to comb down this change, but lets
hear your comments.

  I do not have a problem with the 1 vs 2 points for SSB vs CW...  although
a line of reason would reverse the situation based on the
bandwidth/sensitivity advantage of CW...

  My approach is to make our event open to many forms of participation.
  This is why I think the use of spots by all is good, let's use all the
toys we have.

  Thanks to Hal for posting on SEDXC...

  Thanks,
  Mike, NE4S
