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.

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

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.

73, Bruce Prior N7RR
