I agree with KH6LC. Isn't taking turns in operating what M/S is all about? The 
second one is already called "Assisted".

Joe, 
My thoughts? I think there's medication available that can help you with your 
sleeping problem. 
I like your Elmer Class idea. Anything to get younger people involved is a step 
in the right direction. 
I'm just not sure we need a completely separate category for it.

I was thinking last night when I couldn't sleep. About two possible new entry 
classes for some contests. 

As a guy that just can no longer do even a 24 hour Sweepstakes anymore. The old 
body just can't do it. 
How about a new class for us old farts, a Multi Single. Not as multi op single 
transmitter, but as 
Multi op,, single op 

Huh? 

Think just like any single op class where a single op does all the work, but 
there is more than one operator, 
they take turns at the radio. Only one is at the radio operating at any time, 
but they take turns, when the 
op gets tired someone else takes over. It is always just like a single OP in 
operation, except the operators 
take turns. 

The other is the "Elmer" class 

This is close to single Op, where a single Operator is doing all the radio 
work, 

BUT......... 

there is an "Elmer" sitting next to him helping them, giving advice, the 
"Elmer" never actually operates the radio, they are there just to help the 
newbie learn and do a contest. 

Thoughts? Joe WB9SBD
