Random thoughts......
1. This will have no impact on the number of entrants compared to "before."
There has not
been a group of potential entrants NOT participating because, "Gosh, they just
don't have
a category for exactly me."
2. "Serious" M/S guys from the past will likely migrate to M2. M/S entrants
from the past
who never used 2 rigs anyway will see essentially no change.
3. So now, a serious SOAB SO2R entrant will be able to "out score" a M/S
because they will
have more flexibility in terms of "no time constraints." Find a mult on a
nearly dead 10m?
No problem for the SO...just go there and work it without concern. For the
M/S, well, now it
uses up a band change...for one qso.
4. The "new" M/S is a wonderful category for "a bunch of guys drinking beer
who also want
to operate the contest" instead of (potentially) vice-versa.
5. Well, at least now the category name will actually MAKES SENSE.
