Hi Randy:
No, it's not too bad! :-)
SOME active single operator entries in these contests don't want to be required
to use "assistance" to be competitive.
LEAVE US CATEGORIES WHERE WE GET TO FIND QSOs AND MULTIPLIERS OURSELVES -
without a computer doing it for us! Merging the categories would REQUIRE use
of assistance to be competitive.

It is too bad the ARRL did not take the forward looking position and use
this opportunity to allow all single ops to use spotting assistance. These
contests would benefit from less categories rather than more.
