The Stew Perry contest is not an ARRL event, so entering in Multi Op does
not mean "Single Op + Packet"

I was surprised at a few mini packet pileups I had last night.  Now I know
why.

 

After reviewing the DX Cluster today and reading 3830 it's apparent nobody
reads rules anymore.

 

In all fairness, there were a couple guys using skimmer/telnet/cluster
submitting properly as checklogs as they were chasing new countries or
whatever.

 

I would suggest to the Boring Club to clarify this point in the multi op
rules. (ie: Multi Op does not mean Single Op + Packet).
