"The POC is being sponsored by ARRL’s National Contesting Journal, the
UK DX Foundation (CDXC), the Hellenic Amateur Radio Association of
Australia and the South African Amateur Radio League. "

"The scoring system is based upon the golf metaphor of the handicap
index used to equalize the opportunity for all players to win when they
have unequal ability and play on courses with varying levels of difficulty."

Frank K4FMH said. “I’d say the question is, whether the Big Guns can win
using the handicap system that the Steering Committee has produced. With
this scoring metric, it’s more about radio sport than radio gear. But we
won’t know until many of the Big Guns enter the Portable Ops Challenge.
We are building it but will the Big Guns come?” Only time will tell but
the first POC is nearing it’s inaugural launch.

Big Guns?  Sounds like a call for SOC participation!
