I'd agree with Tom that the "Stew Perry" is a fun contest - whether
running HP or LP - even tho the LP mult is very skewed towards the LP
operation (maybe by design?)
I'm not sure moving the dates to the weekend preceding Christmas is a
good one. Many of us will have family conflicts with that date.
But W8TOP will try to be there some of Saturday nite, just the same.
