Assunto: [CQ-Contest] Categories, Participation and Competition
> Attempts have been made in some contests to create new categories where
> ones with wires or tribanders can compete on a more level basis. Most
> contests have categories for different power levels.
>
> The one item that I think is most important and currently ignored is the
> time of operation. In a world of children, grandchildren, other family
> obligations, honey do's to keep the YF happy, and an aging group of
> contesters, many cannot compete because they cannot work the contest the
> entire period, which in many cases is 48 hours.

> I would only have categories that encourage enhancement of station
> performance and instead include categories in a 48 hour contest for
> perhaps 12 hour, 24 hour and 48 hour operating time - 24 and 48 hour for
> sure. There are a lot of people out there who would do really well if
> they could stay up for 48 hours but cannot ever win anything with a 24
> hour effort. Off times should be longer than what most are used to having
> in Sweepstakes and other contests with time limits Perhaps a maximum of
> four off-times with a minimum of 6 hours for each would be appropriate for
> a 24 hour entry.

> I can see a lot of people getting excited about competing in a contest if
> they had a way of doing it without having to commit to the entire 48 hour
> period.
