=======================================================
If nothing ever changed in contesting...
We wouldn't have a SOA category because packet spots would not be allowed in
contests
We all would be logging with paper and pencil since computers give you an
unfair advantage
No one would would be SO2R because it gives you an unfair advantage
There wouldn't be a M2X category because there are already too many categories
that "dumb down" the results...
There might not be a NAQP because that meeting in the smoke filled room at the
ARRL Convention
in Lousiville , KY in 1980-something where that the idea for the NAQP was
formed (after the ARRL discontinued the CD parties) might of never taken place
because contesting became so boring no one was interested anymore.
Change is what keeps contesting alive and interesting. If the want is there for
something.. i.e a new category, a new rule.. the contest sponsor should try to
fullfill that need..
