Hi Pete
Pse see my reply to VA3DX on the exact same subject - YES - I would support 
additional classes as long as the sponsors are willing to manage them.
I think the 48 hour flavor worldwide DX contest (WW and/or ARRL DX) is the 
TOUGHEST category in contesting today and it really is the GOLD STANDARD in DX 
contesting - it would be a shame to dilute it.
But, additional flavors for those who might like to participate in them - 
sure!  That's  not a bad idea at all.  If it adds activity and makes it more 
FUN 
for more people, then that is a good thing.
It would be up to the sponsors to support and manage them...that's where the 
rubber meets the road.
Tks for the neat idea!
