And that's why we should also combine the QRP, LP and HP
categories, and combine the SO and MO categories, and do
away with physical boundaries for stations, because they
are all pretty much indistinguishable and unenforceable.

Or maybe not?

The existing differences between SO and SOA may not matter
to W2UP, but they matter to me when, as a single-op, I do
not use real-time spotting assistance from other operators,
or from remote receivers (RBN) or from local multi-channel
CW decoders.
