[VHFcontesting] New VHF Single Operator Unlimited Rules Clarification

[Wilhelm, Matthew, W1MSW]

Hello All,

It was brought to my attention that poor wording of rule 2.5 in the General Rules for ARRL Contests Above 50 MHz gave the impression that the use of chat rooms and other  means to establish operating arrangements is allowed for these new categories. That was not the intent of these new categories and I have updated the wording of the rule to reflect that.  These categories only allow for the passive use of spotting assistance.  My apologies for any confusion that this may have caused for those of you who are interested in entering in these new Unlimited categories.

73,
