I strongly agree, and I won't work a station who is working split
mode in a contest EXCEPT when there are national frequency allocation
issues that require the split (like 40M SSB). VP6DX was working split
for much of a contest last year, and burning lots of the band with
their pileup. I passed them up until later in the contest when they
finally returned to their TX frequency.
I DO strongly support a change in scoring rules that encourages east
coast stations to listen to the west, and that allows stations
outside the Atlantic basin to be competitive.
