[VHFcontesting] Rules, opinions, and emails

[John Kemker]

Jim, might it be appropriate for the ARRL to either announce the rules 
clarification on www.arrl.org or in QST?  We might be a bit late for 
QST, but something on the web page might reach a few more operators than 
just this list alone.

BTW:  hope to see you at the Atlanta Hamfest next weekend!

As a result KX9X has to step in and apply his interpretation, best guess, etc.  For what it is worth I have no problem with the reponse from KX9X.  Yes, it may not be what was written but it is a reasonable answer in light of what has been past practice with the limited multi and other categories.  This is a good lesson for those of you out their who are reading these rules like they are the word of God or something.  They were written by people such as myself.  It is difficult if not impossible to think of every possible scenario and even more difficult to write the rules for every possible scenario so lighten up and apply some common sense like KX9X has.
