the low power guys DO have a chance.....its called timing, propagation,
improving your station......I was LP for years, still am in most
instances.....it makes you a better op......now Sunday, lets say in ARRL
DX, that rare African gets spotted, and the pile up is huge.....doe LP
have a chance? Yes, but obviously not as good as if they ran 2 KW into 4
over 4 over 4........but...timing, XIT, all can make a difference......I
guess what I am trying to say is, adding the ability to self spot or
stream, doesnt change what happens during that African DX pileup.....

That is true. The unintended consequences of this rule change may be that
the LP, QRP and wire antenna stations who don't like to S&P will disappear
in frustration. Then the internet CQers will just work other internet
CQers. Finding and working the small stations are what makes the difference
in your score (of that's what motivates you).

But they don't, unless they have a station able to bust through pileups
after the crowd has arrived. These little guns need to find stations to
work that. What big time contesters fail to realize is that all those
little guns they need to work don't have that capability, and eventually
they get tired of endlessly getting beat in those pileups and find
something more satisfying to do.
