Hi Gotz,
Thanks for the 2 bands.
To comment on you observations, I think you are absolutely correct about the
rules.
This is maybe a reason that not so many participate also.
I think the biggest problem is with BARTG not giving any promotion to their
contests.
I have been a “friend” for many years and have never received even an email
from them.
Sending an email to members and posting in reflectors about upcoming contests
is really needed.
As for the rules of the 75 Sprint. For me the mults should be by band, no
continent mults (I heard nothing except from EU and 1 from NA)
Last thing for BARTG to do is to totally overhaul everything they do. Their
website is very out of date, they don’t publish new material, do not promote
things and when it comes to their contests if you win a category you must pay
for plaque or such.... Every other contest has sponsors, its not difficult to
do. If they was to do things more correctly , I would be happy to sponsor
plaque or trophy In some of their contests.
If things do not change with their system I will stop participating in them.
Anyway, its time to move forward and look ahead to CQWW RTTY next week.
73, Scott

Ausgerechnet heute machte 20m sehr früh dicht. Auf 40m waren die EUs,
Rußland nur bis Raum Moskau, der Süden und Südosten, aber gar nichts aus
UA9. Deshalb auch kein dritter Kontinent.
Ceterum censeo: The BARTG should seriously reconsider their rules. Using the
rules of the 48 hours SPRING RTTY contest for a 4 hour 75 Baud sprint on
Sunday evening in darkness when the real DX bands are dead seems ridiculous
to me. There is simply no place for a continent multiplier and "Multipliers
... count only once in the contest regardless of band"!
