True, radio contesting can never be made perfectly equal. Does that
mean we should not try? Should there be no HP/LP class? No Multi-op
class? No Multi-transmitter class? 

The history of contesting has always been that when a particular type
of operating has given a significant advantage like those above, a new
class was created. SO2R is such an advantage and deserves its own
class.
