Ed, I have to quibble with your last paragraph.  If you use the Available Mults & Qs window in N1MM+, and set it to show the newest spots at the top, then you can click there and almost always find someone in the first 2 or three who has not been answered yet.  I've routinely seen last-10 S&P rates of over 210/hr this way, and my best all-S&P CWT is over 120 Qs in an hour.

73, Pete N4ZR
Check out the new Reverse Beacon Network
web server at <http://beta.reversebeacon.net>.
For spots, please use your favorite
"retail" DX cluster.

I almost never enter NAQP officially because I don't typically have the time 
when it comes around to get serious.  Yet Vermont is a desired mult.  So I 
typically fire up the amp and just run for an hour or two as I did last weekend 
(about 80 mins).  Just to give out the mult.

Doesn't matter to me what the rules are.  I am just handing out mults.

If people like assisted, nothing prevents them from doing the same.

And as someone who ran 10 years low power, I can tell you that assisted provides ZERO help in 
S & P.  It does however help you "get found" with the skimmer.  But you don't 
have to enter assisted to get that benefit.
