[RTTY] Level Playing Field is unrealistic

[Jim Rhodes]

The same logic could be used for and against having high/low power or
assisted/unassisted classes. Personally I am not sure which side I am
on in this debate. However it seems to me that the SOmR people do
not want a separate class for themselves and the some of the SO1R do
want a separate class for themselves. Is there not some contest that
it can be tried in? I remember there were debates just as heated as
this over the assisted classes. They are now an accepted fact.

Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.
