The WPX Contest has a tribander/wires only category.
"Tribander/Single Element (TB-WIRES): During the contest an entrant shall
use only one (1) tribander (any type, with a single feedline from the
transmitter to the antenna) for 10, 15, and 20 meters and single-element
antennas on 40, 80, and 160 meters."
This overlay category is available for any single operator (not assisted),
all band and single band, and high/low power.
What does "overlay category" mean? It is a separate competition that is in
addition to the traditional single operator categories. It is a long
running effort to provide another way for similarly equipped stations to
compete.
