[Skimmertalk] Contests Allowing Skimmer in Single Op

[Pete Smith]

Now that ARRL and CQ have set the precedent that local Skimmers are 
permitted, though in Assisted Unlimited, or Multi-op classes, I thought it 
might be interesting to see what it would mean if that precedent were 
applied across the board in major contests.

One group of major contests makes no distinction between Single Op and 
Single Op Assisted or Unlimited classes, so it seems reasonable that these 
contests will permit Skimmers in all classes.  They are:

WAE, Russian DX, RDA, All Asia, CQ-M, HA DX, Japan International DX, LZ DX, 
SP DX, UPA DX and YO DX.

Another small group of contests does not permit packet, so it seems 
reasonable to assume they won't permit local Skimmers either:

EU HF and SAC.

Finally, one group of contests permits packet but classifies it with 
multi-ops, so it's reasonable to assume that the same will apply to local 
Skimmers:

ARRL 10, ARRL 160, CQ 160, and RAC Canada Day.

Just FYI.
