Not sure why this is so difficult to understand.

As I see it, the focus of NAQP has always been as a single op activity ... low power and simple structure (I could list several facets of the contest that support that claim). Packet pretty much disrupts that intent, so those who insist on using packet get relegated to a "secondary" multi-user category instead of adding another category to support an activity (packet) that the contest as originally configured probably preferred to avoid anyway.

You're trying to broaden the focus of this contest and make it like lots of others. Most NAQP ops seem to prefer that it doesn't. I'm not a huge fan of K0HB's incessant "a boy and his radio" mantra, but I think it applies pretty well in this case. In my opinion, that's a major appeal of the contest.
