We all know that contests are not always popular with all, and that the rules do need updating periodically. It doesn't get past the fact that you have to read the rules before any contest and abide by them.
If you don't manage to do number exchanges when the rules say you must, don't complain - just operate within those rules next time around. But then again they may get revised so you have to read them again before the 'next time' comes around !
Back to this subject : Tonight I have emailed Denis VK4AE querying the JMMFD rules and FT8 (or other digital modes) set into contest mode (ie serial number +...).
I will advise the outcome when a response is received - regardless of whether it affects this year's JMMFD - the notification of any change may be too tight a timescale to promulgate.
Maybe next year.
