What Rich says is correct. I would just add that the ARRL 10 and 160
contests are severely anachronistic in this respect. Nobody is
suggesting that assistance be allowed for "pure" single-ops, but surely
there should be a SOA category in these contests. That there is not
dates back to the earliest days of DX clusters. To my knowledge, nobody
has advanced a reason for keeping the status quo.
I have been in correspondence with the CAC and various directors about
this, and one told me that action might be taken in the January ARRL
Board meeting, which has just taken place. Why it requires a decision
at that level is beyond me, but that's what we have. Now waiting for
detailed minutes to learn what, if anything, was done.

ARRL 160 and ARRL 10 do not have separate assisted categories - necessitating
that assisted ops enter as multi single entries.

If a contest's rules say nothing about Assisted operation, does that mean
it's allowed without restriction?
Note that Single-Op has no uniform definition. For example, in the ARRL
RTTY Roundup, Single-Ops cannot be Assisted, while in the CQ WPX RTTY
everyone can operate Assisted.
