Hello there,

The currently announced M/S limitations in the WPX contest in my opinion will kill a part of interst in this category. I remember the time with 10min rule for M/S without any exeptions - that was hard, especialy in the second part of the contest. But because we was a "fanatic" team (perhaps some could remember UK2BBB call) for contesting (and some still are :) ) - there was a three operators by the radios at any time. We have had three working places connected to one PA (with possibility to change the band just in few parts of second) but this 10min limitation simply rejected the use of all our created setup. Funny? Not for us...   And what was the funn when new WPX rules for M/S was created - great fun not only for running op, but for s&p ops as well at least with one "automatic" PA. 
So I am not sure this is a good idea. Or you must create the similar limitations for SO2R as well - as somebody wrote in earlier messages. But this will be another step back...

So let it be said again: you can give nothing with the force, with the force you can only take off...

I'd like to ask CC to think ones and ones again... We still have a time. And let M/S teams will speak.

Thanks for your time and attention.

73, Remi LY8O
