Tom, given big antennas most ops will significantly improve their 
scores.  Contest scores show that EVERY time.  

If you want to put SOxR in a separate category you have to treat 
gain antennas the same way.  Otherwise you are saying to the SOxR 
operator, "You are worth less than a 'normal' person.  You belong 
in the back of the bus."
