I think that the ARRL has answered this for us... they want to drop the UHF 
contest because it is the most weakly active event of the VHF+ calendar and 
their cost/benefit ratio for maintaining it is too high.  Assuming that is true, 
and this is a "done deal", then a combined event (with some changes) as they are 
suggesting seems like an interesting thing to explore more.

I'm simply suggesting that repackaging it as "the eXhibition Games" keeps the 
spirit of the existing 10-GHz + event while adding a certain Field Day-like flavor.
