If CQWW merges SO and SOA then I'll pass on that contest.  And I'll also pass 
on the CQ magazine subscription as well.
Same goes for any other contest that combines SO and SOA.

I don't have a problem with operating unassisted, but I am puzzled as to why 
others want to eliminate the SO category. And I don't care if you operate 
assisted if that is what you like to do.  I have no interest in spots, skimmer, 
RBN, etc.  I have looked at them yes, but I am not interested in using those 
during a contest. 

"The heavy handed CC action to deter cheaters is driving participation away".  
Yes Dale, me at least. 

"Then again I always got the sense that there was a movement to destroy the 
unassisted category for whatever reason".  Yes Ria there is, I see it too.

And then there is the 5 day log deadline that I do not like. I was asked by 
LU5DX (I think) to submit my CQWW CW log a few weeks ago, several months after 
the contest ended. He said it would help with the log checking, so I obliged 
and sent it in 3 months or so late.  If sending a log in 3 months late is okay 
with the log checker, then why the 5 day deadline?  Why not at least include 
the following weekend?  Or perhaps a 10 day deadline?
