Agreed Jay.  Without stateside qso's, its hard to waste a weekend 1500 miles
further away from Europe.

Imagine if we WERE to add 160M.  Jees, the CW ops bellyache about someone
simply calling cq during the weekday.  Imagine a band full of RTTY stations.

Richard, I nominate you for that position.  :)

Other then that, leave the rules alone, they're fine.  Let the "superbad" CW
and SSB ops stick it out for DX only.  :)
