And this guy has rightfully earned his new "Single Operator Assisted Clean
Sweep Dixie Cup" to put on his shelf next to all his other prestigious
awards (Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery).

It baffles me that there are pundits of packet who try to argue that getting 
a sweep is the same accomplishment whether you are SO or SOA.  The ARRL only 
perpetuates the myth by offering the same award in both cases.

If there's a stink to be had about packet, it's at a much more basic level.
We're nit-picking at a sweater that's full of holes.
