Topband: Re: Pacific 160 Metre Contest 2003

[Ron Tremayne VK3IO]

The revised rules which refer to Reworking a station after one hour providing, it is not a consecutive qso, is in fact correct, and the change in the time duration is also correct (0800 to 1100z), but unfortunately these chaanges were not printed or broadcast with sufficient notice for all participants to be informed. Hence some caos will occur for this year.

Also if you read the objective of this contest, and read the scoring allocation, you will conclude that the involvement of DX beyond the pacific is what I would deduce as  "incedential", hence  the hours are not suitable  for the rest of the world.

Bye to all, Ron VK3IO
