Fewer catagories?  Nah.  We forget about the little guys  who use a
vertical and 100W. They cherish the third place finish single band 10meter LP assisted certificate in CQWW for the fourth district. For us big guns its
ZZZZZZZZZ, but to them it's important.

We should all remember when those trivial certificates got the  premier
places on our walls in the shack....all because there were lots of categories.

These
contests  would benefit from less categories rather than more.

And why has K5ZD  not already done the same for "his"
contest - CQWW?  It's because a  recent survey made it
clear that we, the SO entrants, didn't want  it.

The only benefit of this move would be to CQ and ARRL.
As  contest sponsors, they would be relieved of the
unwanted responsibility of  identifying which single
ops used spotting assistance from other  operators.
Wasn't that once known as Multi-Op?  :-)

Fewer  categories?  Yes, why not?  Let's take the
forward looking  position and combine power levels.
And what about "classic"  categories?   Well, it's
obvious - real men don't need time  off.
