Ben, Yes what a great idea, I'd be up for an AM contest, (there is a contest
for just about every other mode available) as someone said 'If we were
supposed to transmit in ssb we would have been born with one nostril' that
would really give those 'Ducks' something to quack about, gee all those
hetrodynes!! 73 Max M0GHQ

Actually, that's not a bad idea. But MY only question is this... WHY
should
the ARRL be allowed to have anything to do with it AT ALL? The ARRL's
blessing
is NOT required for anyone to organize and run a contest; AM is just one
one more
area where the League is irrelevant. Consultation with them isn't
necessary, or
desirable.
One weekend a year where AM operators get on and start calling "CQ
contest" would
REALLY stir up the pot a bit. And if it's successful, the League might
realize that
in order to have IT'S views listened to, they're gonna have to join US!
Sort of turns the pro ARRL argument on it's head, doesn't it? <<grin>>
