Randy recently suggestion here that if you want to see the relative impact of
being assisted
vs not assisted (impact on score), look at K5ZD, K1DG, K0DQ.
I did. Hope this comes out OK.
The main point is that using assistance or being unlimited gets you more mults
and hence
a bigger score (relatively speaking).
All of the top guys (such as these three) use SO2R. If you are SO2R and using
your 2nd
radio to find new Q's (hopefully, new mults), when you tune using the
not-assisted method
you are "blind." You don't know what your might find (which is fun).
When you are SO2R and use assistance on your second radio, you are not tuning
"blind."
You know just where to go to grab new mults. So it would seem obvious that
using assistance
when SO2R would a higher mult and assuming you don't neglect running on radio
1, a higher
score.
I'm not sure that this has anything to do with why the categories are separate.
In case this does not come out "pretty," Randy was assisted in 2012, 2014,
2015. The
other were not assisted (or at least they didn't claim assisted). <grin>
If it doesn't come out "pretty" and you want to see this in Excel (where it is
pretty),
send me a directly request and I'll send you the file. Or do it yourself at
