[CQ-Contest] New category: "Wires only"??

[Barry N1EU]

WPX is the only contest that even provides the TB/wires category.  So even 
if you get a new "wires only" category created, what contests do you think 
will adopt it?  Maybe WPX?  ARRL DX and CQ WW have shown no interest in 
adopting a limited antenna category.

You can be quite competitive in the WPX TB/wires category with wires only.  
I took 2nd place in 1999 cw with just single element wires and perhaps 
someone has taken first place in the past.

Personally, I'm for limited antenna categories in all major dx competitions 
and would view a "single element wires only" category as a progressive step.
