If you are unhappy with that one, let's try ARRLDX SSB 2014...a  WRTC 
qualifying big contest....2014
 
Top SOAHP:
 
K4XS:  7.16M
 
 
Top 2 SOHP:
 
VY2ZM:  6.94M  (big station, much closer to  EU)
K1TO:  5.25M  (big station, WRTC 3-time winner, full  time, 100 miles from 
K4XS)
 
As you can see, assisted does help.

HMMMMMMM.  I wonder where K4XS is located?

N2IC is  located just 60.66 miles from AZ and Zone 3; the FAR, FAR west of 
Zone 4,  and only 320.46 miles from the nearest waters of the Pacific Ocean 
(Gulf  of California).

If K4XS is in Florida, as his QRZ address says he is,  then his station is 
ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED and FORTY miles to the east  of N2IC, in the 
eastern southeastern portion of Zone 3.

I find this  'comparison' to NOT be a good comparison.  YMMV.

Should say TOP  score assisted beating TOP score  unassisted

Do you run  the risk of having  participation certificates when there are 
too
many  categories  ?

Does that really find the best contesters ?   Personally I  don't like
cluster
use (old school) but if the rules to  qualify  are such then maybe I need to
re-address my stance if I want to   qualify.

I still find it odd in many years I cannot recall an  assisted  score 
beating
unassisted in a major contest. (CQWW   CQWPX)

If they're so useless, why then does CQ recognise the value  of  having
separate categories.  It's worth taking a look   at
http://www.cqww.com/raw.htm?mode=cw - showing the calculated raw  scores  
for
CQWW CW 2014.

There are 46 categories listed, and  that's without  including the Classic
and
Rookie sub-categories. Is  anyone  complaining?

There are many reasons why CQWW is the  world's most  popular contest, and
the
number of categories is one  of them.

This  "useless discussion" is unlikely to go away, and it  would be helpful
if
the  WRTC2018 Committee members reconsidered  their unanimous decision  to
eliminate unassisted categories.
They  might all be  mistaken.

73,
Paul   EI5DI
