Now that this running is behind us, the organizers need to seriously consider a change in the rules.

It is unnecessary, and downright punitive, to push assisted single ops into Multi-2, instead of creating a separate single op assisted category. Many of us, with limited antennas (see HOAs) can only S&P. Without assistance, operating becomes a deadly boring sequence of tune, copy, type the call in, be told it's a dupe, and repeat.

The rule now consigns assisted ops to submergence in the multi-op category, when it would be so simple to create a single-op assisted category. It's certainly not in the interest of expanding NAQP participation to continue punishing assisted ops this way.  Time to act!
