[CQ-Contest] Categorically Speaking... LET'S VOTE!

[S. Markowski Jr.]

I don't think it's worth a poll. IMHO  If someone can only get on for 12 or 24
hrs out of 48...........if they're in contesting........they'll operate the time
they have available.(the story of my life) I don't feel there should be any
additions to classes or op times.
