[CQ-Contest] SO Unassisted Scores vs. SO with "Help" Scores

[Jeff Steinman <n5tj@hotmail.com>]

It's true that in most years, for CQ WW and ARRL DX, the highest single 
operator all band score comes from the operator who is Unassisted. But I do not 
believe that means "Help", call it packet or skimmer or other, is not a 
valuable tool to increase scores. And in fact I believe that if the guys 
winning single op Unassisted today used "Help" they would continue to win, and 
at a score higher than if they did NOT use "Help". 

It's just that they operate Unassisted because they like to find stations on 
their own, the old fashioned way.

73,
