As Joe stated, if the rules do not appeal to you, don't operate. This is why I haven't operated in the ARRL 160 for years as it really is a 160M SS, and I've never found the "normal" SS to be all that interesting.
There is always the SPDC, the CQ 160, etc. The only one I normally spend any time operating in is the CQ 160 CW. 73, Stew K3ND ________________________________ From: "Joe Subich, W4TV" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2012 6:11 PM Subject: Re: Topband: ARRL LOTW and More ARRL 160 meter contest is based on *Sections*. KP2 and KP4 are *SECTIONS* as are South Florida, North Florida, West Central Florida and any other section. It makes no earthly sense to change the rules for one or two sections after thirty plus years of the contest. If you don't like the rules, find a different contest. 73, ...
