Hi, Jerry --

There is room, I think, for difference of opinion on whether repeater QSOs ought to count.

I tend to lean toward the no side, 'cuz I think one of the purposes of such events is to get people to stretch themselves a bit, and repeater QSOs don't seem to require much of a stretch.

On the other hand, I see nothing particularly objectionable in allowing them, either. As long as the rules are the same for everybody, it's still fair, and different rules for different events add variety.

Cheers!
