Steve just hates it when guest ops like me come along and log 
everything...

(...in the belief that the log should reflect what actually happened)

This discussion has been going on for sometime. During the discussions, I 
had not seen any comments regarding the exclussion of the Local club class. 
It does have some merit and might well be discussed. The ARRL contests have 
three club clasifications, whereas the CQ contest have one over-all club 
group. Let this run for a year or two and see if it skews the local club 
standings very much. All-in-all, this looks like it will promote more 
Contest DXpeditions supported/sponsered by clubs and we all win.
