Indeed, it is apples-to-oranges. Look at the top 3 ASSISTED LP in ARRL DX
CW this year:
KB3WD 2.9M
W3KB 2.8M
N1EN 2.7M
Then look at top 3 UNASSISTED LP in ARRL DX CW this year:
K1ZM 5.1M
W1UE 4.3M
N5AW 3.6M
In many contests the top scores go to those who entered unassisted. This
doesn't mean that assistance hurts scores, it just means that folks choose
assisted vs unassisted for a wide variety of reasons (including WRTC
qualification details.)
