states
> "in order to give everyone a chance at one QSO, he (Ed) might limit CW
QSOs
> to only those that have never had a P5 QSO with him. This way more people
> will get at least one QSO as he will never be able to work everyone on
SSB,
> CW and RTTY. He might decide that if you had a SSB QSO, then one CW QSO
> would be okay or if you had RTTY, then no CW. Don't know exactly how it
> will be done yet, but there has to be some type of limitation."
