Yes, but when sails were replaced by engines, some people preferred to stay 
and compete in the SAILS category, some moved to engines category. Please 
don't force your opinions on those who prefer to stay with sails and 
demonstrate their ability in that category. If you like to compete in 
category with engines, we have those, compete there and be happy. We will be 
happy with "outdated" category which means if you are SINGLE - you are alone 
(and your gadgets). If you want to operate with half of the world's 
assistance, then go assisted. Just don't try to call sail engine, or single - 
many operators (via anything).
America's Cup is done by using sails in the days of rocket engines, and 
nobody is laughing at them, they get great admiration.
You have assisted category, use it. Leave SINGLEs alone.

Now if we can discuss the power rule: how is it that Italian 300W means many 
kilowatts, contesters sign the declaration that they obeyed rules while they 
exceeded their regulations, and they even manage to show up in the record 
tables. Can you tell us about IG9/IV3TAN 80 and 160m operation? Or is the 
power rule outdated?

Yuri, K3BU
