[VHFcontesting] VHFcontesting Digest, Vol 75, Issue 24

more  than likely is is a rule made eons ago, by someone who worked on
the  contest rule committee . They lost the contest,  because  their
competitor used a repeater to drum up a few more contacts. How  very
unfair....

=========================
 
Actually that rule, as well as the one concerning use of 146.52, was more  to 
protect non-contesters from contesters, whether from contesters begging on  
the repeater, or using reverse repeater splits, or tying up the national 
simplex  channel (back in the days when most FM radios were crystal controlled). 
 
Preventingsome other contester from making too many FM qsos was not the  
issue.
