OTOH, the new rule seems to only effect those who win plaques, a small
group, and it would be unusual if any of them did not have rig control.
As for the standing SO band change limit, that really is a stupid rule.
Ranks right up there with the band change limit for MS in most contests,
which should be a 10-minute rule on OPERATOR changes, not band changes, so
that the MS operator could at least have SO2R.
