Many of you are overreacting and misrepresenting to my original comment. 
An example of this is WW4B's statement "I am extremely upset by the 
whole idea that the rules are off the table". I never said that the 
rules are off the table.

First of all, I have absolutely no role in making, changing or 
influencing the rules in any ARRL contest. I'm simply a lowly contest 
results author :)

Please read my comment below, again. It reflects the current realities 
of those who do make the rules at the ARRL. I said ---drastic 
changes---, which means those changes that significantly effect the 
historical character and nature of the contest. Being able to work the 
same station on multiple bands certainly meets the definition of 
--drastic change-- to Sweepstakes. However, tweaking the rules to allow 
different callsigns to be used from the same transmitter/antenna 
combination probably doesn't meet the definition of --drastic change--, 
IMHO.

What can we do to increase activity ? Making drastic changes, such as
allowing the same station to be worked on each band, are off-the-table.
