Not only that. For years the powers to be have been saying that having
everyone run low power levels the playing field. Sorry but that's not
true. In the January NAQP SSB I ran high power to prove a point. I made
860 QSO's in about 9 hours. The top SOLP score made 1525 QSO's. BTW I
didn't submit my log. The playing field isn't level because the majority
of the top scores operate from bigger stations and they do SO2R,
probably dual CQing on two different bands. Is that fair that someone
with a smaller station has to be grouped into the same category? I wish
more contest sponsors would have a tribander/wires category like they do
in some of the CQ contests.

Judging by the commentary recently on various reflectors (and my own
experience last weekend), it is time for NAQP to institute an Assisted
category, rather than lumping all one-transmitter assisted stations
into Multi-2. The M-2 class's band change rule makes zero sense for
one transmitter assisted - I'll be losing credit for some QSOs because
it never occurred to me that it would cover a single-transmitter
competitor.
ARRL 160 CW and ARRL 10M contests got rid of this anachronism a few
years ago - it's time for NAQP to follow suit. I don't know who
decides such things, but trust that Chris will know who needs to take
action.
