Hi Dennis,

I'm disagreeing with you unless you mean something completely different 
by "buried" from what that means in my book. I don't feel like we need a 
"special" category or class. We should just jump in with both feet. Both 
watts? Yes I've been in FD with a 2 watt TX and I wasn't buried. I've 
been in various contests, sprints, QSO parties, etc with low powered or 
vintage (sometimes both) radios and was just another station in the 
event. Not buried.

Try it.
