When argumenting about the validity of surveys, reflectors etc. at least
keep in mind: this reflector is of course more a forum of vocal big and
bigger guns with comparatively very few voices from the broader contesting
community, especially outside W/VE (no critisism, just a fact). The
discussion about a real one-transmitter-concept in multi-op-categories goes
beyond the interests of the top ranking guys - and is IMHO a very valid
perspective for any organizer. Those competetively motivated hams from a
smaller hardware league deserve more serious attention then to hear that a
TX-1-category were kind of a "grill&beer"-category - which sounds in many
"loudly and clearly" speaking voices. Having multi-multi-capability or not
is a distinctive hardware difference in multi-op-categories (and why not use
it to full fun-extent in higher categories if you have them?). But it is no
sign of being a lesser contester to not have them - says one of the quieter
voices.
