[SMCARA] [Fwd: Re: Maryland QSO Party - Next Weekend]

[Scott Parker K7LU]

Tom,

Right, the club operation takes place from one location.  What I was getting
at is this: I don't see any prohibition in the rules against an operator who
has participated in the club operation from subsequently operating from home
*under his/her own callsign*.  Lots of contests prohibit this.  But I didn't
see anything in the MDCQP rules that would preclude a club station operator
from operating from another station under another call.  So, unless I missed
something, people who want to get some operating time from home with their
own calls can still participate in the club operation according to the
rules.

73,    Scott    K7LU
