         Hi All

         Well once again ARRL  DX Contest is coming up and once again I am
         wishing they had Low power category for single band operators.
          Now that I am getting into those advanced years ( age 67 
Friday ) a
         full time effort in all bands is getting harder and harder.  
Now a full time
         effort on a single band is still simple, but I still compete 
against those
         using high power.  I am sure I am not the only person who is in 
this
         situation.  Some other major contest are able to see there way to
         implement low power entrants into the results.  I would be even 
happy to
         see just a little star after the call results line to 
distinguish the difference
         in power.  And yes I know too many categories reduce the
         value of a win.  Anyone else care to voice an opinion ?
