This was sent to the ARRL PR reflector (only). I have no idea why it isn't
being
distributed more widely.
Attention Cheaters: Note the sentence:
" If exceptional results are claimed, entrants must be prepared to explain how
they were achieved. "
I hope they mean what they say. I'll be watching closely !
And for you ARRL members, note the sentence:
" The IARU Administrative Council discussed various issues related to the event
and asked that the ARRL devote the resources necessary to maintain a high
standard of adjudication. "
Translation: resources == money . ARRL money only. No contribution from the
rest
of the IARU.
