K1ZZ won SO Unlimited. It is much easier to win SS from other places than it is CQ WW. Let try to compare apples to apples.

But Hans…the contest is unfair to us W1s.  We need to “level the playing field” 
so that a W1 with stacked monobanders has a chance of winning.

Distance based scoring, inversely actually, would be much fairer to W1s in SS.  
What say you?

Ya wanna fight, Pilgrim?

Don't you DARE mess with SS!  One of the tiny handful of major contests where you 
actually need to be able to COPY something.  Confounds the "fie nigh foe" crowd.

Besides, Charly and most of the rest of the world are ineligible to play, so 
the jeremiads would continue.

If you insist on a contest that is existing be changed to try it, I would
suggest the major contest with the absolute worst growth rate and
demographics currently operating, ARRL Sweepstakes.
