Agreed Jay. Without stateside qso's, its hard to waste a weekend 1500 miles
further away from Europe.
Imagine if we WERE to add 160M. Jees, the CW ops bellyache about someone
simply calling cq during the weekday. Imagine a band full of RTTY stations.
Richard, I nominate you for that position. :)
Other then that, leave the rules alone, they're fine. Let the "superbad" CW
and SSB ops stick it out for DX only. :)
