I still enjoy being JUST "A Boy and his Radio", 50+ years after I earned my license. And I enjoy the "Wires" overlay in the WPX too.

Keyers, paddles, voice recorders, computer logging are enhancements  for a
single op to use.  The others are using a second person for  assistance.
That's the difference.

What was  the exact time where it was just a operator and a radio?  1940,
1950,  1960?  Was that before keyers, paddles, voice recorders, computer
logging, 2m spotting nets, telephones to call and make scheds, the mail
system?

I have to wonder if the proponents for backwardness also  drive Model A
and Model T cars, use wood stoves and have no indoor  plumbing.

The hobby is constantly changing and evolving and we continue  to create
new technologies.  We don't shun advances in our daily  lives we should
we do so in Ham Radio?

I would just add one point. I've been told that the 1 radio no spotting caveats were added because some folks on the CQ Committee were concerned
that non-assisted hot-shots  would drop down to the 24-hour overlay
unless these things were  outlawed.  I frankly doubt this, particularly
with respect to  the assisted/non-assisted angle.  However, instead of
sitting on the sidelines, it is important that supporters of the 24-hour
 category enter it this year, so that we can credibly make the  argument
for loosening that restriction next  time.
