So let me see if I have this right...
RAC made an administrative change tp it's sections... apparently without
consideration of what it would do in the short-term to ARRL contesting
multipliers for the rest of 2025 or the 2025-26 contest season (which would
have been nice but under which they don't appear to be under any obligation to
do)...
...to which the ARRL Contest Advisory Committee or other appropriate entity
hasn't had an opportunity to deal with yet...
...and your response is to feel insulted at the ARRL and the Contest Community
and skip Sweepstakes?
Ok then.

Well, that seals it. YT will not be on for sweeps. Frankly, it's insulting.
I am not one to dwell on geo-political matters, but this is beyond the
pale. The rules are quite clear.
Maybe see you in 2026.
Cheers
