All meant to get more people interested in amateur radio and contesting. Which I think it has!

I get it, I guess, but at the same time class proliferation is getting
kind of silly.

November SS used to be Single Op Low Power (A), High Power (B), QRP
(Q), and Multi-Op (M).  Period.

Then a bunch of us college kids (at the time) started running a
parallel Collegiate Championship ... which ARRL co-opted (with
different qualifications) and added School (S).

Then the SO2R thing happened and they added Unlimited (U).

Now they've expanded it (but not changed the exchange thankfully) and
added MultiOp Hi/Lo and Unlimited Hi/Lo.  It was a great contest with
4 categories. but I'm not convinced it's any better with 8.
