Dick,
I sent mail to this reflector over a yearago mirroring your
suggestions that SO2R be a separate category but the guys that
already run SO2R don't want to hear it now that they have the
advantage.
I also suggested that each contest summary that posted on
the reflectors etc, have a column indicating whether SO2R was utilized.
That's all, do it for a couple years then look at all teh results and you
will seee that the
top guys are USUALLY on top. Yes, sometimes an SO2R station gets beat but
that is
due to other factors like a poor Op or lack of good equipment/antennas.
Bottom line, just list it in results.
