Welcome! You can count on this discussion once or twice a year. The
arguments are the same, just a few new participants in the discussion each
year.
It's a flawed situation with no perfect answers. Who wants the playing
field to be level except for operator skill (in operating) anyway? That
might be OK for one contest a year, but "operator skill" includes a lot of
other things, including but not limited to innovation with equipment and
antennas. If someone makes a new killer antenna from scrap parts, he should
be rewarded with a higher place in the competition. Everyone using the same
equipment with the same propagation would be a little boring, wouldn't it?
