> Hi list,

> OK here are some answers to some questions that I have been asked.  These
> are good questions and some I have considered for a long time.
>
> Q: Why no 80m?
> A: Several reasons.  1. This gives Europe an advantage over NA.  2. There
> is a good opening night time from EU/NA during April.  There will be
nobody
> on 80.
>
> Q: Why no YC? Why are multipliers not WWYC Members?
> A:  YC is confusing to many stations.  Having prefixes for multipliers
> makes it very easy for logging programs to figure, and for me to figure
> out.  This eliminates many many hours for me to study logs.
>
> Q: Why 24 hours?
> A:  This gives everyone a fair chance for propagation.
> I hope that this appeases everyone and makes a fair settlement.
>
> Q: Why no time limit?
> A:  Expressions by 9A6NHH, AD7U, K9YO, N6MJ, and some others are that
there
> is no time limit.  I can agree to this.
>
> Q: Why no single mode category?
> A: This makes more and more categories and awards.  There are already
enough.
>
> Have fun and see you in the contest.

changing
