And this is the wrong message to be sending when the ARRL is expending a
significant amount of effort in trying to protect our uWave bands.  Think about
this:

o Donate to the spectrum defense fund
o Create a contesting category that actually encourages you to NOT use spectrum

Both are ARRL activities, each of which works in opposition to the other.

Limited Multi Operator stations should be based on limiting the number of
operators, not the number of bands worked/submitted.  Don't sell-off our future
in exchange for the ability to score in a category that makes you artificially
competitive today.  Truth.
