I'd like to second that idea also! During the day, contests are
a lot of fun from the west coast, but after dark things get
pretty slow for us "vertical and low dipole" crowd. On Friday
night, it is not worth while trying to beat out the "big guns" on
the 40 and 80 meter pileups. The incessant calling and calling
(meat for another time) on low bands makes it impossible to work
any dx from the west coast with a small station. The endless run
of JA's that used to make it exciting just doesn't happen any
more. Having a low band-high band category makes good sense. 73
