Randy,
Maybe the ARRL realizes that such a step would be extremely divisive. It is
not "forward thinking" to do something that would alienate those contesters
who love the challenge of operating without assistance, especially when you
can make everyone reasonably happy by adding an assisted category for those
who want it.

It is too bad the ARRL did not take the forward looking position and use
this opportunity to allow all single ops to use spotting assistance.
These
contests would benefit from less categories rather than more.

Actually, the ARRL PSC DID recently accept the Contest Advisory
Committee's recommendation to add Single Operator Unlimited Categories to
ARRL 10 M, ARRL 160 M, ARRL RTTY Round Up, and IARU. However, these
rules will not kick in until 2014. You will notice that the RTTY RU
rules have already been changed to accommodate this change for the
January, 2014 event.
This rule change for the ARRL 10 M and he ARRL 160 M contest will kick
in next year.

Maybe this was discussed here before, but someone needs to refresh my
memory, why is there no SO (A) category in the two big upcoming ARRL
contests ?
