Mark, who cares about competitive single op's? <grin>
Like LU5DX mentioned a couple of days ago:
"A big portion of the efforts of log checking (Countless hours) are spent to detect cheating by so called "Competitors". The vast majority (Fortunately), simply turn on the radios and have fun AND are generous enough to send in their logs."

So I guess the changes are being done in favor of so-called "vast majority". I guess we have to be grateful to casual guys for getting on and working us. Following this logic the organizers will have to create a category for those who can't operate 24 hours, 18 hours, 12 hours ... and so on.

If seriously, to me a contest without competition just doesn't make sense.

Respectfully, it doesn't address the competitive single operators. We're using SO2R.

    I would vote for 36-hour Classic Category (1 radio, no assistance) in
    both CQ WW and CQ WPX Contests. That would suit most of the complainers.
    Current 24-hour category I would call a "Handicap" Category.
