I agree Randy. How in the world would you enforce this rule? If you want to social distance just don't allow any multi-op's this year.JeffSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -- Original m

No requirement that the individual stations must be in the same state or province? Does one send the master station's state, or the state where they are actually located? If the later, it might prov
I see no problem defining which state or province - it is the state/province where the "Master station" belongs. All the participants use the same call sign and the same report. -- * Vy 73 de OZ2I He
Lets not eliminate multiop categories because of a virus. What is next, eliminate expeditions since flying increases the chance of exposure? Every situation is different. John KK9A Jeff Sent from my
Oh yeah! It's totally in the spirit of today. If someone can't ride at 40 MPH, let's ban this speed for everybody! Yuri VE3DZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list

This reminds me of the CQ-WW Unlimited category (not sure if that was the name) which was in effect for a few years. It allowed pretty much anything within the applicable contest rules and national

There may not be a "master station". Just a bunch of home stations at different QTH's who work together like an IARU HQ-like station. For WAS/LoTW purposes, you think it's okay if everyone sends (rel
John, That's not really a very good analogy. A rule like this isn't really enforceable. How do you prove someone is conducing their multi-op in this way? We all know COVID is a much debated issue. T
If someone wants to do a multi-op and remote to a specific station location it's pretty easy to setup. I operated WX6V's station remotely (from GA) in CA in the CQP this year. I got his station setup
I see a huge problem in sending anything other than the actual state/province in which the transmitter is located. It is patently dishonest. Maybe that doesn't bother anyone else, and for contesting
The request for this "COVID-19 one-year variance" for the ARRL sponsored contests originated from a group of EU contesters and through the Radiosport department at ARRL HQ. It then went on to the Boa

This is not a problem. It is extremely easy to upload correctly for WAS, county, and grid square purposes on LoTW. I did it for W8I when we had stations in MD, VA, and WV. Each LoTW QSL shows the cor
So, everyone who works W3DQ, gets multiplier credit for DC, even though most of the stations using the W3DQ callsign/exchange were not in DC ? Reminds me of Don Miller and supposed North Korea DXCC s
Here's the translation for how this went down.... Some European contesters, who probably aren't ARRL members, really like the idea of having IARU-contest HQ-like stations in other contests. They use
