If you are a competitive Single Op. entry, there is ALWAYS the need to
hunt for multipliers.
Strategically balancing running and mult hunting for maximum score has
always been a great challenge of Single-Op. And that balance differs
for every specific contest (eg. WPX vs ARRLDX) as well as due to as the
propagation differences that particular weekend in that contest.

Unfortunately the Single-Op rule changes in CQ WPX has taken away the
option to choose the way you want to operate. Pretty much you have to
operate assisted if you want to have a competitive score.
How do you figure, Jeff?
WPX is basically a rate contest. There’s a virtually endless supply of
multipliers. If you work enough contacts, the multipliers will come.
There’s no need to hunt for multipliers.
Being assisted might actually slow you down and reduce your score.
