But Jim, my point is that there's no reason to punish those of us who,
for whatever reason, prefer to operate assisted. And that's what the
current rules do, by eliminating any separate (from M/2) single-op
assisted class. I am not calling for merging assisted and
non-assisted. Experience over the last 20 years in many other contests
has proven that separate categories do *not* mean that assisted will
drive unassisted out of the top spots - quite the contrary. Thanks for
the QSO - I found you from a spot.

For spots, please use your favorite
"retail" DX cluster.

It is unnecessary, and downright punitive, to push assisted single

Without assistance, operating becomes a deadly boring sequence of
tune, copy, type the call in, be told it's a dupe, and repeat.
Hi Pete,
I STRONGLY disagree. The joys of NAQP are the Low Power limit and the
prohibition of cluster use.
Thanks for the QSO yesterday.
