Doug,

I think this new unlimited-unlimited category is a great idea for several 
reasons, but these two come to mind.

1) Most importantly it validates the notion that experimentation and 
stretching the technology is REALLY what amateur radio is all about, and an 
unfettered category like this puts RadioSport firmly into that space.

2) It gives a great counterpoint to the "boy and his radio" enthusiasts 
(like me), providing a playing field whose technology/engineering borders 
include turf all the way from "minimalist" to "extreme".

Good stuff!
