Jamie,
You started out this thread arguing for combining the assisted and unassisted
into a single category, based on a false premise that the unassisted
competitors
would still do very well in the combined category.
Now we see your true colors - you don't like the way that unassisted has
separate high, low (and QRP) power categories, but assisted lumps them all into
a single power category.
I see nothing wrong with having separate high, low and QRP assisted categories.
That should provide a significant boost to contesting activity levels, which is
always a good thing !
73,
