[RTTY] cheating

A great op using SO2R probably has an advantage.  So do ops with 200 ft
towers, big amps, 11k rigs, hardline, stacks etc.

What I hear is a bunch of people that do not want to change and embrace
something that would make them better scores.

So I guess operators should be judged and put in their own categories
because they are better than you?  Really?

Joe,

If you can sit there and honestly tell this group that an SO2R station does
not have a distinct advantage, Fine.

Then you would have no objection to a Single Operator, Single Transmitter
Rule.

Certainly would even out the field, And since there is no advantage to be
had by having two radios....


The distinctions between a SO1R and SO2R are of the same types that 
cause other sports to create brackets, classes, and power rankings.
Its done to allow a fair and reasonable competitive contest for all 
competitors.
There will be operators who will find an advantage one way or another.
Having the Varsity squad play the Pro Team shouldn't be one of them.
