I was not going to say anything, but here is my $0.02 worth anyway.
No one is forcing anyone to enter a contest. If you don't like the rules and
cannot abide by them, just don't enter the contest. There in no way that
sponsors of a contest can make rules that everyone will like. But, they
make the rules and you can either join in the fun or stay out. It is your
choice.
I note in the SARTG contest that 61 of my 174 contacts have 2by 3 calls.
That does not seem to keep such notables as ZL2AMI and others out of the
contest. I did a lot of CW contests when my call was WB0WLX because I wanted
to. The 2by3 call was not really a problem. Shall we drop this thread and
let the contest sponsors do their thing ? If the contest has merit, it will
survive and those who enter will have all the fun.
