What's the problem with WAE packet rules? Is it that they list all the
single ops(even with packet) in one category, even though the packet users
are so noted? Is that really any different than listing all the SO2R guys
( and gals) with the SO1R? How much (percentage) do you think the second
radio adds? Using the top ten or twenty US scores in CQWW, if some used
packet, would the places change much? What do you perceive to be more of an
advantage, packet or a second radio? If packet users should be a separate
category, why not 2 radio guys?
