  Hi Dom,  Happy New Year to you.  We already have a "proprietary" contest, 
run by DUBUS. Personally, I have no problem with the DUBUS contests rules. 
There is one weekend for digital modes and the other w/e are split between 
the various bands and I can enter as a single op multiband which is what I 
like doing, competing against all my old friends... OZ4MM, F2TU, RW1AW, 
VE6TA, etc! The DUBUS contest is getting more activity each year it seems to 
me which is good. We should give it all the promotion possible.
