I don't use SOAssisted because 98 percent of the DX stuff posted that is
workable with 20 watts from TX or the East Coast (wrong coast) isn't even
readable from the Left Coast.

For these contests where there is no assisted category, instead of making
yet another category, why not just allow single ops to use assistance?!
Anyone licensed in the last 15 years has never experienced life without
the
DX Cluster. Perhaps it is time to accept this as it is - the new normal.

What Rich says is correct. I would just add that the ARRL 10 and 160
contests are severely anachronistic in this respect. Nobody is
suggesting that assistance be allowed for "pure" single-ops, but surely
there should be a SOA category in these contests. That there is not dates
back to the earliest days of DX clusters. To my knowledge, nobody has
advanced a reason for keeping the status quo.
I have been in correspondence with the CAC and various directors about
this, and one told me that action might be taken in the January ARRL
Board meeting, which has just taken place. Why it requires a decision at
that level is beyond me, but that's what we have. Now waiting for
detailed minutes to learn what, if anything, was done.
