That's even better ! I didn't really know about the antenna overlay until I 
read the Sweepstakes rules. I assumed it was only for SS. Thanks for the update

CategoriesI really liked the ARRL Sweepstakes Limited Antenna category that the 
ARRL added. It's nice to see score comparisons to other stations using similar 
wire antennas to mine. I was really surprised to see other guys that I always 
assumed had a tower and beam antennas in that category. Many of them are pretty 
loud in Georgia (especially if they're running an amplifier) so my advice is 
don't give up on contesting if you only have wire antennas. You can still have 
fun !  I'll probably never have a tower and beam antenna since I'm older now , 
don't climb towers anymore and retired. You're not going to win anything with 
wire antennas compared to the big guns who always win which makes it easy to 
just do a contest PT or casually. If I had something to shoot for maybe I would 
spend more operating time in a contest from home.Kudos to the ARRL. It would be 
nice if they added this overlay category to their other contests too. Maybe CQ 
as well ?73's Jeff
