I think Pete has an excellent idea! Since multipliers count on each band, a few CQ's on a "dead" band like 10 Meters could be picked up by Skimmers and draw some action - more fun for everyone!

Judging by the commentary recently on various reflectors (and my own experience last weekend), it is time for NAQP to institute an Assisted category, rather than lumping all one-transmitter assisted stations into Multi-2. The M-2 class's band change rule makes zero sense for one transmitter assisted - I'll be losing credit for some QSOs because it never occurred to me that it would cover a single-transmitter competitor.

ARRL 160 CW and ARRL 10M contests got rid of this anachronism a few years ago - it's time for NAQP to follow suit. I don't know who decides such things, but trust that Chris will know who needs to take action.
