HI all:
Well, I guess I'm the guy who responded "in private" in total support of the
idea...all points, one through five.
For those of you who don't like point one (no directional CQs), you have to put
it in context
of the forum here on the reflector.
My "gut" reaction is the same as most of you....there is nothing wrong with
Directional CQ's.
HOWEVER....in the context of the discussion and airing of options with "what to
do when, if,
etc. " which might occur as the result of a directional CQ, then I fully agree
that for "top
ten-ers" it should be easy to agree to not call directional CQ's. Since I have
never been
a "top ten" type in SS, I think I can make this comment in a completely
unbiased manner
(well, biased by my type of logical thinking founded on nearly 30 years on
"some" contest
committee).
If you don't understand why point 1 is important, then you should reread all of
the discussion
that has taken place here. Yes, it flies in the face of logic when viewed on
its own, but it
makes perfect sense in the context of "how to fix this."
Just think about it this way....if the "top ten-ers" already do this or will do
this, and you
don't agree and make the top then, explain your logic of not agreeing when
"everybody else"
in the top ten does agree (it's voluntary).
For some folks, getting a sweep cup in the mail is the goal.
For other folks, earning the sweep is satisfaction enough.
Think about it and then decide.
