In the survey of WAG 2015 we asked about a potential category "LP mixed, 
no rotable antenna and no part of the antenna(s) being higher up than 12m".
The "yes"-percentages represented about the percentages of respondents 
using such a setup: More than one third in the German speaking group, 
below 30 percent in the English speaking group, but comparatively less 
interest in the Russian speaking group.

Regarding the revolving issue of activity for the sake of activity 
versus competetive minded activity there was (only?) a fifth of the 
participants mentioning a competetive motivation but also more than 25 
percent saying they would like to operate more seriously as a competitor 
but had no fitting goal.  IMHO we have to fight for that group (as long 
as we call it contest instead of activity weekend) - without being able 
to promise that rules would overcome geografic handicaps. A lot of small 
steps may be helpful like promoting livescores, contests-in-the-contest, 
even more reporting, prize incentives below the usual plaque schemes 
(mostly ending on the same walls). Disadvantage: They need much more 
time than a change of rules :-(
