------------ REPLY FOLLOWS ------------

AA5AU has also commented that with SO2R, his score improved about 40%
above his SO1R score. That is a comparable advantage to HP vs LP, and
like HP vs LP, deserves its own category. 

The playing field can not be made perfectly level, but we should try
any reasonable means to make it so. NOT doing so reduces competition
and ultimately will cause contesters to give it up and go somewhere
else to have fun.
