Hi Zack -

No.  This discussion is only about the single operator category.  All other operating categories will remain, including QRP portable.  

The QRP Portable rules, in Section 2.2 of the General VHF Contest Rules, are self contained and independent of the rules for the other catagories - I have cut & pasted them below:

  2.2.Single Operator Portable:
    2.2.1. Ten (10) W PEP output or less.
     2.2.2. Portable power source.
     2.2.3. Portable equipment and antennas.
     2.2.4. Single Operator Portable stations must operate from a location other than a permanent station location.
    2.2.5. Single Operator Portable stations may not change locations during the contest period outside of the original 500-meter diameter permitted c


Do you have a preference as to which proposal you would prefer for the single operator class?

I'm a bit confused about these proposed categories. Do they do away with the Single-Op (QRP) Portable category?
