Hello All....the Single Op Unlimited was created by the Board of
Directors(I think that is right) with no input from the Ad-Hoc
Committee....because the Committee had not yet been formed. However,
until we get Announcements(Call, Frequency, Sequence ONLY) then what we
effectively have is the same old legacy HF centric rules that we have
had in the past. The whole point of getting assistance was to get
Announcements, not so that we could look at the HF packet spots.
Hopefully, the suggestions of the Ad-Hoc Committee will be adopted
quickly....at which time, the Single Op Unlimited class can go
away....Please support the proposals of the Ad-Hoc Committee with all
your ARRL officials. Let's get this done....

Subject: [VHFcontesting] New VHF Single Operator Unlimited Rules
Clarification
Hello All,
It was brought to my attention that poor wording of rule 2.5 in the General
Rules for ARRL Contests Above 50 MHz gave the impression that the use of chat
rooms and other means to establish operating arrangements is allowed for these
new categories. That was not the intent of these new categories and I have
updated the wording of the rule to reflect that. These categories only allow
for the passive use of spotting assistance. My apologies for any confusion
that this may have caused for those of you who are interested in entering in
these new Unlimited categories.
73,
