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

[Jeff Clarke]

I agree Jim

It only benefits a very small number of people. Checking the 3830 scores 
I only have only seen three entities in this category of which only a 
couple seemed to be serious efforts. I curious why CQ decided to do this 
because I don't recall there being any discussion pushing a category 
like this.  They've sure made some bad rule decisions recently. I guess 
if you know the right people they will change a rule or create a new 
category for you? But hey what do I know about contesting being a bozo 
in flyover country. As usual get ready for the barbs flying your way 
calling you old fashioned and out of touch with contesting technology :)

BTW you didn't hear me in WPX SSB this weekend because I boycotted it in 
protest of their stupid Single-Op rule change.
