Now that this running is behind us, the organizers need to seriously
consider a change in the rules.
It is unnecessary, and downright punitive, to push assisted single ops
into Multi-2, instead of creating a separate single op assisted
category. Many of us, with limited antennas (see HOAs) can only S&P.
Without assistance, operating becomes a deadly boring sequence of tune,
copy, type the call in, be told it's a dupe, and repeat.
The rule now consigns assisted ops to submergence in the multi-op
category, when it would be so simple to create a single-op assisted
category. It's certainly not in the interest of expanding NAQP
participation to continue punishing assisted ops this way. Time to act!
