I agree Jim
It only benefits a very small number of people. Checking the 3830 scores
I only have only seen three entities in this category of which only a
couple seemed to be serious efforts. I curious why CQ decided to do this
because I don't recall there being any discussion pushing a category
like this. They've sure made some bad rule decisions recently. I guess
if you know the right people they will change a rule or create a new
category for you? But hey what do I know about contesting being a bozo
in flyover country. As usual get ready for the barbs flying your way
calling you old fashioned and out of touch with contesting technology :)
BTW you didn't hear me in WPX SSB this weekend because I boycotted it in
protest of their stupid Single-Op rule change.

The WW1X team entered the M/M distributed category this weekend. We
managed 23.5 million points in adverse conditions in this new
category from USA zone #5 with 7 stations and 13 operating positions.
Our team consisted of 26 operators from eight countries
I think this category is a TERRIBLE idea, simply because it reduces
the number of stations to work, as well has their prefixes.
