What am I missing here? The ARRL 10m Contest is a dual mode event ...
both CW and SSB are allowed, either separately or mixed. Why wouldn't
at least a M/2 category be a viable addition? Seems like it would be
straightforward to implement from the ARRL side, although a bit more
involved (filters, etc) from the operating side.
