I still enjoy being JUST "A Boy and his Radio", 50+ years after I earned my
license. And I enjoy the "Wires" overlay in the WPX too.

That's the difference.

What was the exact time where it was just a operator and a radio? 1940,
1950, 1960? Was that before keyers, paddles, voice recorders, computer
logging, 2m spotting nets, telephones to call and make scheds, the mail
system?
I have to wonder if the proponents for backwardness also drive Model A
and Model T cars, use wood stoves and have no indoor plumbing.
The hobby is constantly changing and evolving and we continue to create
new technologies. We don't shun advances in our daily lives we should
we do so in Ham Radio?

My understanding is that the "Classic" overlay was intended as "a Boy

I would just add one point. I've been told that the 1 radio no
spotting
caveats were added because some folks on the CQ Committee were
concerned
that non-assisted hot-shots would drop down to the 24-hour overlay
unless these things were outlawed. I frankly doubt this, particularly
with respect to the assisted/non-assisted angle. However, instead of
sitting on the sidelines, it is important that supporters of the
24-hour
category enter it this year, so that we can credibly make the argument
for loosening that restriction next time.
