Yuri,
You really need to compare the
1) A boy with Flex 6600, KT36XA (tribander) and dipoles and/or Inv. L's
at 80'
OR
2) A boy with Kenwood TS-830S, TA33jr at 40' and low dipoles.
WITH
3) Someone with multiple towers with mono-band yagis on 40-10 meters and
maybe a 4 square on 80 and a full size vertical or more on 160.
Of course #1 and #2 are close to being equal but neither of these are
close to #3. Maybe Google the calls that are near the top in the weekly
CWT's, NS and NAQP and you will find those who have the highest scores
have a station that would be more like #3. But those that are stuck with
a station you described for #1 and #2 are grouped into the same category
as #3. Is that really fair?
Bottom line is I think what people are asking is that there should be a
tri-bander/wires category so those people in #1 and #2 don't have to
compete directly again #3. I guess I don't see what the big deal is to
add another category. Do you think it would be fair for a F1 race car to
compete again a NASCAR? It wouldn't even be close. You could use this
same analogy when comparing antennas.

Or a boy with his Icom 718 and a dipole, the most unfair of all.

Okay, let's look at "A Boy And His Radio + Tribander / Wires" category.

competes with:
2) A boy with Kenwood TS-830S, TA33jr at 40' and low dipoles.
Looks fair?
Same category.
I bet the TS-830 guy would cry about unfairness...
Have a great weekend, everyone.

Hi Steve:
A boy and his radio category may be a good idea "tribander/wires anyone),
but I still think we need to retain single operator categories which are
played on the radio and without the internet and AI programs/robots.
