[CQ-Contest] WPX Single Op Rules

[Jeff Clarke]

"The Classic Overlay Category was reduced from 36 hours to 24 hours, after the inaugural run in 2020, to make it consistent with the Classic Category duration in CQ WW.  I believe this is sound as many participants are physically unable or unwilling to operate for longer periods."


So it's being implied that the Classic Overlay Category is a category for "those participants are physically unable or unwilling to operate for longer periods." So basically a category for someone who wants to just play around in the contest? For someone who desires to operate full time unassisted Single-Op there isn't an option for doing a full blown 36 hour effort and turn in a competitive score. Your only choice to to compete with those who use spotting networks.

So to be fair why don't you make a category for those who want to operate as assisted and are physically unable or unwilling to operate for longer periods ? It's being implied that ONLY anyone who operates SOU isn't capable of doing 36 hours? Are only unassisted operators not capable or physically unable or unwilling to operate for longer periods?

And why does CQ WPX have to be consistent with categories in CQWW ?  Again none of this is logical.
