[Moon] [Moon-Net] contest point system

[Peter Blair]

Excellently put Zdenek,
Fully agree.  A small correction, I think you meant ARI when you wrote AW.

I agree with Jan DL9KR. Again, this is a "storm in a glass of water." ARRL has the ruls it has, and I can, or cannot, agree with them. But I always have two choices. I will participate or I will not participate. Then I have two choices again. I will send or not send a log. We also have a pure CW contest during the year, DUBUS. But as Jan writes, participation is what it is.

If someone disagrees with rules like ARRL's, he can put out a contest on the same date. Unfortunately, there is no room for another large contest in the year. He can then accept the logs and evaluate the contest on his terms. Issue diplomas and issue a scorecard. We have already proposed several times to change the conditions of ARRL at many EME conferences, without success. So who's going to announce a contest so that the conditions suit everyone?
Personally, I don't have time for such an undertaking and so I simply accept the conditions that are set in the individual contests, be it the SSB Fun contest, the DUBUS contest, the AW or the ARRL.
We have a saying in the Czech language - "Fun runs according to who pays for it".

  Gentlemen,

  I strongly share and endorse the criticism brought forward by DL6SH, 
  PA3DZL, SM4IVE, F5HRY, VK6EME and others.  The problem is not new. In 
  the past years we have seen that ARRL is not willing to change things. 
  Formerly an avid EME-contester, I now enjoy contests when JT users are 
  prepared to do CW with me. Good that there's still the DUBUS (with low 
  activities).

  SM2CEW says: CW is king. So be it.


  Jan DL9KR.
