Is there another all band contest (160 and 10 meter contests don’t count) that 
you can only work a station only once ? (not on each band)  I don’t think so. 
Like many said BORING. Most stations don’t even bother to operate the full 24 
hours. I wasn’t even born when the SS rules were first written so I don’t know 
what the rational was behind allowing only one QSO. Maybe one of you old-timers 
might know ?

My guess to why SS might be popular for some is it’s just been around for such 
a long time. It’s kind of the same reason that Field Day is so popular.  You 
work stations in both of these contests that you normally don’t work in all the 
other ones. It’s about time that the ARRL  updated the rules.
