And no digital frequency displays!

But seriously ... if you don't level the playing field, people like me
(100 W, wires), could never even pretend to hope to win anything and
that tends to depress participation.  So to give the Big Guns someone
to work, entrants are classified ... but where do you draw the line?
I see some 'tests have "TB-Wires" as a class.  Really?  So if you have
a vertical ... what?  Yeah, the guy with 6 over 6 over 6 on each band
has an advantage, but do we really want to go that far?

No question that there need to be lines between classes, but where are
they?  And how do we prevent them from getting stupid?  :-)
