What I don't understand is why a *full* set of 24-hour overlays isn't
a good idea. A decade ago, several of us ran a survey, and a
plurality of those responding said that it would cause them to operate
as much or more. I thought we had what we hoped for when the 24-hour
Classic category was announced. Alas, by banning SO2R and spotting
assistance, the Committee closed the door on those of us wholack the
physical wherewithal for 48 hours, (I'm 74, with 60 years of
contesting), but still want to compete and use the technology others
in the contest have available.
Totally agree with Pete, N4ZR on this matter. I am 71 year now. I was a
member of the original group that was hoping for a 24-hour Classic
category but with SO2R and spotting assistance. It is a shame the
Committee closed the door on this option. I respect those what want to
compete in SO only but I too would like to continue to compete using all
the technologies available to me without limitation!
