[CQ-Contest] CQWW Xtreme Categories

[Marc Domen]

That is right.
Your signal could be received in a complete other part of the world.
Say, a JA has a remote RX in Europe, what kind of contact are you doing
then.
I can work him with my tuned FD4.

Sorry guys, this idea of a category does not reflect what I believe is a
contact.
When I tune my fd4 on160 knowing my signal or my receiving will not reach
JA, I will not make a QSO.
This is not what I believe is contesting.
In my opion this will not promote contesting.
