right, that how it works in European contests and it works
.....and that's one reason why I will not seriously work any Eu contest
anymore that makes no provisions for non-packet stations. I did many of the
EU
contests seriously in the late 80s, including the DARC, ARI and Belgian
contests and won....without packet.
Comparing packet to big beams and towers is nonsense. The bottom line is
there is only one person operating and finding stations at my big towered
station......me. In packet assisted, it is a multi-op no matter how you slice
it.
I heard the same baloney about two radio operation......still only one op,
regardless of the number of radios.
I have no problems with other stations using packet, as long as they admit
using it when scores are submitted. If it increases their enjoyment, great.
It's a shame though, that we have to change the rules by making everyone in
the packet class, because some dirtbags cheat.
