Hi Joe and Everyone:
I do not believe that contests that currently consider operators using
assistance as multi-operators should modify their existing categories to create
a "combined" single operator category.
I would HATE to see the ARRL 10 meter contest do this, for example. I did a
serious single operator CW only effort in that contest and enjoyed it very
much. I would NOT have enjoyed it as much if I had to operate Assisted to be
competitive.
I wish WAE would re-introduce the single operator (unassisted) category also.
:-) I do that one seriously every year and I have to use RBN/packet to be
competitive since they don't have a traditional single operator category.
73,
Mark, KD4D

It should be easy - MM, M2, MS, SOHP, SOHP(A), SOLP, SOLP(A), QRP, QRP(A) -
What the heck is so hard about that? Anyone?
AGREED 100%
