HMMMMMMM.  I wonder where K4XS is located?

N2IC is located just 60.66 miles from AZ and Zone 3; the FAR, FAR west of Zone 4, and only 320.46 miles from the nearest waters of the Pacific Ocean (Gulf of California).

If K4XS is in Florida, as his QRZ address says he is, then his station is ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED and FORTY miles to the east of N2IC, in the eastern southeastern portion of Zone 3.

I find this 'comparison' to NOT be a good comparison.  YMMV.

Should say TOP  score assisted beating TOP score unassisted

Do you run  the risk of having participation certificates when there are too
many  categories ?

Does that really find the best contesters ?   Personally I don't like
cluster
use (old school) but if the rules to  qualify are such then maybe I need to
re-address my stance if I want to  qualify.

I still find it odd in many years I cannot recall an assisted  score beating
unassisted in a major contest. (CQWW  CQWPX)

Putting this usually endless and useless  assisted/unassisted and
single-op/multi-op discussion behind for  now,

If they're so useless, why then does CQ recognise the value of  having
separate categories.  It's worth taking a look  at
http://www.cqww.com/raw.htm?mode=cw - showing the calculated raw scores  for
CQWW CW 2014.

There are 46 categories listed, and that's without  including the Classic
and
Rookie sub-categories. Is anyone  complaining?

There are many reasons why CQWW is the world's most  popular contest, and
the
number of categories is one of them.

This  "useless discussion" is unlikely to go away, and it would be helpful
if
the  WRTC2018 Committee members reconsidered their unanimous decision  to
eliminate unassisted categories.
They might all be  mistaken.

Paul  EI5DI
