Greg, Asking the CAC for input makes sense to me. The lack of a numerical report during contests has become commonplace when other information is communicated, and it may well increase the hourly QSO rate. 73, Mike N2YBB From: G Widin Sent: Saturday, June 29, 2013 8:14 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:21805] Fwd: Optional ARRL Contest Signal Reports Looks like all Directors received this. It seems fair to forward this to the CAC for their review and recommendation. Other viewpoints?

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. 73, Bruce Prior N7RR J.
