Whoa, no change in categories? "Grandfather" in single-op assisteds? Are
you saying that my entry as a single-op assisted would be listed
alongside stations with multiple operators who can rotate? If so, I
hardly think that is a level playing (or should I say sleeping) field!
Maybe I missed something, Tom, as I agreed with everything else you said.
I changed from single-op unassisted to the assisted class after realizing
that my ambitions of working New Ones benefited greatly by sharing spots.
We also had an absolutely fantastic group participation on our local
PacketCluster in one contest. I put a lot of planning into the sleep
strategy and would feel like one man in a relay race where there are four
runners competing with me. Yes there still just one baton but.....
