Random thoughts......

1.  This will have no impact on the number of entrants compared to "before."   There has not
been a group of potential entrants NOT participating because, "Gosh, they just don't have
a category for exactly me."

2.  "Serious" M/S guys from the past will likely migrate to M2.  M/S entrants from the past
who never used 2 rigs anyway will see essentially no change.

3.  So now, a serious SOAB SO2R entrant will be able to "out score" a M/S because they will 
have more flexibility in terms of "no time constraints."  Find a mult on a nearly dead 10m?
No problem for the SO...just go there and work it without concern.  For the M/S, well, now it
uses up a band change...for one qso.  

4.  The "new" M/S is a wonderful category for "a bunch of guys drinking beer who also want
to operate the contest" instead of (potentially) vice-versa.

5.  Well, at least now the category name will actually MAKES SENSE.
