Absolutely awful idea. What on earth was the CAC or the League thinking. 73 RIch NN3W _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.co
Spotting first, then self spotting what will be next. Probably allow redundant operator because 48 hours probably is quite difficult for Single op why not allow second operator All those movements ki
Good afternoon. I don't know exactly what to say or think about. My first impression isn't good, including for those guys that are always "Assisted". DXCluster will have thousands of self-spots. Than
So to be competitive I now have to employ: "..use of online and other non-amateur radio platforms including but not limited to social media, live video streaming, and internet chat rooms ..." ? This
Wow that is quite a rule change! I have always enjoyed the randomness of not knowing what rare station will call next or where and when I will be spotted. W2RE did not display his 20m operating frequ
Appalling rule change. It is usually the worst and most unpopular rules changes that are the ones made without consultation and I don't think that is a coincidence - this rule change and the WPX cont
We used to only call CQ on the radio. With this rule change you will now need to call CQ on the internet too. Everytime you push the CQ button that same button can now now send a spot out to the inte
Hi Randy: Allowing self-spotting might not have had much of an impact. Allowing chat rooms and other non-amateur radio platforms will have a huge impact. Competitive assisted single operators and Mul
So which contest software will be the first to add, "self-spot every 15 seconds"? Seems ARRL is back on its secrecy kick. I just renewed my ARRL membership for the 52nd year. It may be my last. Barry

Can't speak for anyone else, but I for one disagree with this rules change. Suffice to say, it gives me more incentive to continue to operate casual S&P, rather than bear down and really be competi
I, for one, welcome our new insect...erm...contesting rules. This change is good for the face of our hobby! This might be the rule change to open the floodgates of a new paradigm of contesting and a
Like me a city small station with dipole and vertical, spot from big guns in both coast does not help at all. So I have been staying in Low Power - non assisted. CQ-ing is not effective, so my contes
Im not an ARRL apologist, but the CAC has been discussing this since at least a year ago, and made a recommendation for this change in their July meeting. You can look up the minutes on the ARRL webs
