I've complained here repeatedly (ad nauseam, you might say) about how "assisted" has changed single op. This year in SS, both CW and SSB, I experienced it clearly. Several times I would find a nice j

Assisted is not that easy for a competitive station. While you are running on 14.030, you must time your CQs and replies to guys calling you to the guy who's CQing on 21025. You have to time your cal
Assisted is easy only to such guys who have not tried assisted. Assisted is much more difficult than classic. Very Much. 73, Jukka OH6LI _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mai

Let's not confuse 'assisted' with 'SO2R'. IMHO, SO2R is difficult. Assisted can be difficult or not, much depending upon whether SO1R or SO2R and whether seeking maximum score or maximum enjoyment. M
Well .. Randy wrote assisted is different from classic. My point is if you want to max out your score compared to others, there are many temptations to stop CQing and go for some juicy looking multip

You are right. Point and click. Going through the steps is simple. But you are wrong in that winning in the assisted format is a different story. The other guy can go the the basic steps just as well
