100% agree, only in Ham Radio we can have "Single" operator being assisted by 
army of other operators, fed via packet. Mediocrity is creeping in from 
"DXing" via nets and lists, and ....

Just like "single transmitter" in M/S in CQ WW can mean - you can work 
multiplier with "second single" transmitter, or call "CQ multipliers", or 
work stations for zero points and make them UBNed. I wonder if Gore got the 
disease from Hams?

Why do we have ZERO points in CQ WW for own country QSOs nowadays?

sometimes as N2EE, "assisted" by Murphy (mostly)
