So using a CW Decoder now puts you in the assisted category? I do not see
any competitive advantage to using one and it allows less proficient
operators to enjoy the contest. Will a RTTY decoder be allowed in CQWW RTTY?
Certainly using Super Check Partial or prefills offers more assistance than
a CW decoder.

VIII. DEFINITION OF TERMS
2. QSO alerting assistance
The only thing the change does is prohibit
single-frequency CW decoders, which provide no competitive advantage and may
be needed by ops with hearing problems.
It doesn't "prohibit" single-frequency CW decoders, it just means that use
of a single-frequency CW decoder places you in the Assisted category. What's
so bad about that ?
