We'll have to agree to disagree on this one, Bill.
I feel that if someone develops a skill, a station configuration, or a
technical wrinkle which advantages them over lesser prepared participants,
then that hard-won advantage should not be "neutralized away" by a rule
change. Competition is all about keeping up with the competition, after
all.
"Starting even at 0000Z on Friday evening" is a myth --- radiosport
competition begins long before you plunk your butt down in the chair at
2359Z.
