[CQ-Contest] RES: CQ WPX M/M Distributed Category Update

Exactly. That's probably where the main difference lies.

We, "old farts" (per Mike, VA3MW), are still looking at HAM Radio as at 
AMATEUR RADIO, where radio is the main word. We still have fun building 
some of the equipment, antennas, we like experiment with them, etc.
The "other guys" are looking at it as at some kind kind of computer 
game, sometimes having no idea what RF or even antenna is. Somebody else 
(a business venture) is offering emulation of HAM Radio for them.
Different angle views.

Two of the youths actually experimented in a M/2 distributed in CWT at the 0300 session this Weds and made 300 Q’s and 70,000+ points but didn’t submit a score because the category doesn’t exist, they did it to have fun. These are just some of the cool things you may not be hearing or seeing but it’s actually happening.
