Robert,
I have earned a 1x2 callsign. I do not wish to add 2 more characters 
to my callsign just for a contest.
I certainly respect the right of any organization to have contest 
rules as they wish. However, if I find those rules objectionable, for 
whatever reason, I won't operate that contest.
I am sure your contest will be a success without my participation, 
but since we are discussing it, this is one reason why my callsign 
will not be in any logs.
See everybody in CQWW RTTY, if not sooner!
