Yeah, SOA is a ridiculous category for SS. Much worse than SOA in WPX. I'll
predict that the SOA entry in SS NEVER wins a division.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] SS SO Unlimited question
Tidbit from ARRL:
"The Awards Committee has considered and accepted several
recommendations from the Contest Advisory Committee which
will affect the annual November Sweepstakes. Effective with
the 1999 running of this event:
1. A single operator unlimited category is added. This
category allows for single operators to use Packet in the
contest. There is no power differentiation in this category."
Question: (Serious!)
Since there is such a small number of multipliers (79 last time
I looked) and they only "count" once (you get no additional mult
for working them on additional bands) why would a SO station use
packet in SS?
