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. Jim Weaver K8JE Sent from my I-Phone On Jun 29, 2013, at 11:27 AM, "Dennis Bodson" <bodsond@verizon.net> wrote:

Greg,

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.

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.

Greg, I understand. I was just clarifying my initial comment; not referring to yours. 73, Jim Weaver K8JE Sent from my I-Phone On Jun 29, 2013, at 2:06 PM, G Widin <gpwidin@comcast.net> wrote:

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." GW
