Im not understanding the rationale. The 10m Contest as well as the 160m Contest do not need this change since they are single band contests and the most an entrant station can run is multi operator, single XMTR and social distancing can easily be accomplished therein. Let’s not waste time with temp changes to either of these single band ‘tests. 73 David A.

I’ve received a call from constituent AA1JD who has operated the ARRL 10 m contest for 35 years with a buddy, NC1M. He asks: Could this temporary accommodation apply to the ARRL 10 m contest as well? This contest is only six weeks away. As (we hope) our COVID-19 concerns are temporary, and as these guys don’t want to break their 35 year streak, I ask that PSC consider broadening the list of contests eligible beyond the ARRL DX Phone and CW contests to include the 10 m contest. Would the Chairman of PSC (Director Holden, K0BBC), and members, please consider this request as soon as possible, so that, for example, MS operations this year, amidst the pandemic, are allowed under the guidelines?
