The entire concept of 'levelling the playing field' is unrealistic. It
makes about as much sense as my High School football team making it to
Superbowl or Grey Cup based on some form of equalization calculations. It
sounds to me that lower scoring operators want to bite the ankles of the big
guys. The underlying factor is skill, the best toys will not get you to the
finish line by themselves. Exceptional operators know when to change bands
and frequencies. They create the pileups and know how to herd the calls.
Just like DXCC nobody really cares how you got that many, just that you did.
I realize there are endorsements for certificates but at the end of the day
your position on the Honour Roll is based solely on the number of contacts.
This year's Field Day was an exercise in too many classifications but that's
another story.
