I lost count of how many "can you QSY to 10?" we had to turn down 
because of 
the counterproductive and unnecessary 10 minute rule which should be 
rescinded.  I wish those legions of tube-radio guys would upgrade to 
solid-state radios so we could finally bag the 10 minute rule once and 
for 
all.
  The 10 minute rule, for all of its flaws, effectively eliminates the 
use of an "Octopus" station in the competition. 
 
What other simple, enforceable rule would exile the octopus without any 
other deleterious effects?
