But that never happens in any contest.  As I said before, many people are putting more operating time in than I am, and the rules don't account for that.  Some have much bigger stations that I have, so they operate differently than I do.  Some live in a more VHF operator dense area so they operate differently than I do.  In the CQ HF contests they at least created a tribander single element category to try and help equalizing operating styles somewhat.  The only way the VHF contests have attempted anything like that is thru the high power and low power categories.
