Well thats one contestI will not enter SSB ROPOCO that is.
Keep it CW its nice to have to work for a change to read changing info
rather than just 599 001 etc etc
If we need more SSB contests then I would suggest that we drop the
January CC's for a series of SSB eg Sprint,Club Call and ROPOCO all in
January.
CW ROPOCO is fun SSB is not.

> Les, I guess your saying we wouldn't attract CW newcomers, but you would SSB ones (me for one).
> Is this the only CW RoPoCo? In that case, I'd go with you, we need to keep at least one, because one day I want to be able to enter and hope other would be the same. But a phone RoPoCo would allow some of us to get into the operation of such a contest, without having to concentrate on both the contest and our Morse.
> So if the committee is saying they will stop the only CW RoPoCo, I'd say don't do that, but add a Phone version in.
