I agree with Steve 100%. I don't believe I have said it as well. My suggestion to set up a category defined by antenna height is an attempt to have a clear and simple way to classify what Steve has called a "small station". Regardless of what other equipment, a station with a 100 ft tower would never be a small station-- folks don't spend that kind of money and effort in order to be "King of the Water Pistols". King of QRP or King of LP, maybe, but the intention is to be a big dog in whatever category. Regardless of what other equipment, a station with a 40 ft tower will never become a big dog, not at HF, anyway. My suggestion of a 50 ft dividing line is arbitrary and open to discussion. But remembering my relative success with a 55 ft high 8-el monobander in the last 10M contest I operated, I do believe any dividing line higher than 50 ft would be too high, and perhaps it should be 40 or 45 ft. But whatever the dividing line is, I firmly believe there should be some dividing line for the Water Pistols. Thanks, Steve.
