Bill, If rules are "changed only to benefit the the majority of the
participants." Then contests would only allow tri-banders, dipoles, and
single 100-watt max rigs.. since that is what the majority actually use, and
that change would benefit them... No antenna farms and no KW amps. Wow !
I think we can find a better standard for change..

Personally I believe eliminating country to country QSO's is a good thing.
Yes a SMALL percentage of people will miss 40 zones or 100 countries, but
I dont think the impact of a rule change on 2% of the entrants should
dictate the direction of the contest. Rules should always be changed (or
not) to benefit the majority of the participants.
