OH....so as ABRAUN pointed out now we can "rubber clock"3-5 minutes
and thats OK !!!! 10 minute rule has outlived its usefullness!!
What we really need is a "2 RADIO RULE" any more than 2 RADIOS and
you are M/M. One radio is RUN the other is MULT !
re: 160 mtr rule change: Another change designed to drive what little
DX we hear away! Why doesn't ARRL just call it a SS-160 Test and be
done with it!

I recently made a DX contact with the following <P40DC>. Being I have no
way to check that call sign or QTH can anyone clue me in what or where?
Any answers appreciated. Tnx

Message-ID: <01BB7FF2.8144BF00@downing-1.intelenet.net>
I'd like to pass my input to the group on the proposed M/S 10 minute rule
change. The
proposal is simple: eliminate it entirely. Simple rule: only one transmitter
and one receiver
allowed on at any one time. QSY as much as you want. But no second rig for
"running"
two bands at once. (Call it the "30 second" rule if you like). This approach
keeps
the amount of equipment for a competitive operation to a minimum - unlike the
CQWW that
forces us to build two complete and separate high power stations to be
competitive. For those
of us that journey offshore for these shindigs minimizing the amount of stuff
to be shipped,
broken, and lost makes a real difference. The ARRL DX contest can be won M/S
with a single
rig from the carib. Let's not screw it up with more arcane rules - six
changes per hour will soon
turn into six per rig per hour.......... much like the present incomprehensible
10 minute rule where
each rig gets its own clock!
