Very Good Ward: I guess that's why you're the ham of the year and I'm not.
That is an interesting approach and a very good one. Instead of constantly
trying to redefine a word eliminate it and replace it with a new word.
Here's my feeble further amplification on your approach:
SO: Me and my one radio with no helpers against the world.
Multi: Me and some helpers, i.e. packet or skimmer, or another radio or all
three.
Multi-Multi: Me and all my possible helpers, i.e. friends, radios, the whole
works.
(Red, Green, Blue)
Again just my -2cents worth

I've got a better idea - how about we get **RID** of the word "assisted"
entirely? It is far too vague to be of any use when we are really talking
about sources and movement of information. I suggest SO and SO-Unlimited if
we're to have two categories. If three, then SO, SO-Plus, and SO-Unlimited.
Then the sponsors can state the definitions and there won't be any arguing
about what constitutes "assistance." The next debate will be about what
"single" and "operator" mean, of course.
Even better - maybe the categories should be named Red, Blue, and Green so
the category name is removed from the debate completely and thoroughly.
