Ahhh, OK, I see,

they are heard often and worked fast using up all the available people
quickly and running out of new fresh meat.

Hi Joe - try operating SO1R (no packet) on SS Sunday if you were on
the previous evening - it defines boring, because there is almost
nobody to work. The difference between #1 and #10 is at most 50 QSOs.

I missed something,
Where did someone say it was boring?
I do not remember reading where someone said it was boring.
if this was stated, what was the reason for the thought of it being
boring?

I have never been a fan of SS so I don't have a dog in the fight on
whether
the rules get changed or not.
However, it is pretty amusing to hear how many people want to "game the
system" with new, fresh, call signs to alleviate the Sunday doldrums
but
then have others defend yearly how great a contest it is. Can
anyone else
mention a WRTC eligible contest that is so boring that this topic
would even
get started?
There is a reason why the SS contests, both modes, are the laggards
of the
unbelievable log submission growth that virtually every other major
contest
has experienced. I am glad the ones that love it, love it. Good for
them.
The ones playing games with call signs should either accept what it
is or
find a different contest where such gimmicks (just to add fun and
relieve
boredom) are not necessary.
I am sure others will disagree.
