[CQ-Contest] Wires Only

[ku8e@bellsouth.net]

  If you limit the size of the area you can put up your wire antennas you would eliminate competing against someone
who has something big like a rombic antenna farm. I would allow all types of wire antennas (wire beams, phased verticals etc..) as long as they fit into the required area. 

The whole idea is to give someone who is hardware limited by their budget or new to contesting to have a chance to win something.  Wires cost a fraction of  a towers/beam antenna farm and I would think would be within everyones' budget.
