I wasn't suggesting that we bypass the PSC, just that the CAC's input would presumably be critical to evaluating the idea, as David said: "I will be happy to add this to the agenda for July; however I would like to get K0AD and his CAC's opinion on this one before we act."

David,
You stated my thinking better than I DID. This question needs to go through PSC which may -- or may not -- choose to send it on to CAC.

This would be a call for the PSC to make after the CAC looks at it IMHO. I will be happy to add this to the agenda for July; however I would like to get K0AD and his CAC's opinion on this one before we act. ****

Looks like all Directors received this. It seems fair to forward this to the CAC for their review and recommendation. Other viewpoints? Greg, K0GW

Dear ARRL Officers and Directors:
Attached is a two-page proposal in PDF format to make signal reports optional for all but two contests which are administered by the ARRL. I would very much appreciate your reading the proposal and, if you agree, making this change official ARRL policy.
I look forward to hearing from you about this matter.
Thank you.
