Yes, I done a few serious SOA entries over the
years. It's a different kind of challenge, one I find less enjoyable that
tuning a receiver to find multipliers.
Everyone has different motivations for the category they enter. I operate
assisted for only one purpose, to increase my 160M country total. I can watch
for new countries, or just gauge the conditions on the top band while
competing in the contest.
The unintended but pleasant side effect is that for a low power guy, SOA LP
is presently much less competitive than SO LP. With a minimal effort, I can
get a score within the top ten SOA, where that would not be possible in the
SO category. I expect that will change over the years as the category gets
more popular.
