* ARRL Contest Advisory Committee releases white paper: The ARRL Contest
Advisory Committee (CAC) has released a white paper, "HF Contesting--Good
Practices, Interpretations and Suggestions"
<http://www.arrl.org/contests/hf-faq.html>. The document, which discusses
common situations encountered during HF contesting, results from CAC work
that arose over the course of an informal committee meeting at Dayton
Hamvention. While not a comprehensive set of "Frequently Asked Questions"
(FAQ), the white paper does address many issues that periodically arise
related to HF contesting and even some that may apply to VHF/UHF contesting.
The white paper operates from an HF perspective, however, recognizing that
there are many differences between HF and VHF/UHF contest practices. ARRL
Contest Branch Manager Dan Henderson, N1ND, stresses that the white paper's
interpretations do not supersede the rules for any contest but are intended
to assist contesters by providing some interpretations and operating
suggestions based on CAC members' accumulated experience.
