ARC Rulings (Applications Review Committee of CALLERLAB):
(July 2011)
Q: Is it proper to call Trade the Wave from an Alamo Style Wave?
A: Improper: This action does not comply with the CALLERLAB Plus definition. There is no defining wave.
(September 2011)
Q: Is it proper to call Trade the Wave from a Thar formation?
A: The ARC declared that this application does not comply with the CALLERLAB Plus definition and would therefore be improper at Plus. However, it would be proper at A-2 and should be called “All Eight Trade the Wave.”
