I agree with George on this. (I just threw away an email saying the same
things he did, only he did it more eloquently!)
This is a positive change Randy! Well done!

I like this change.
Here are my thoughts.
With the M/S rules proposed by the WPX contest you can now do this
contest with one radio and two or more operators. It is a true
single transmitter category and only really requires a station
that is capable of one tansmitted signal. This is cool.
The WPX contest (until recent times) had pretty much these same
rules for M/S - before there was a M/2 class - and it was great.
Since the WPX is pretty much a rate contest - the fact that you cant
go chase all the mults around is just fine.
The CQ WW DX contest M/S rule is more like a M/2 type operation.
You really need to have a station that can have two signals on
the bands at the same time. This takes much more hardware
and station design. The CQ WW DX contests do not have a multi-single
category - they are all multi-transmitter categoreis for multi op.
