[CQ-Contest] Should SO and SOA be combined? Randy's survey 2015

[rjairam at gmail.com]

Even though the response in EU was opposite, it was marginal and the
sentiment in NA was overwhelming to keep unassisted.

This seems to have blown up into a gigantic mess and the combining of the
categories is something I don’t support, even though I do SOA sometimes.
They are different competitive strategies.

But at the very least the classic should be 36 hours.
