[CQ-Contest] ARRL 10M packet rules

[Scott Nichols]

That's the way I interpreted the rules...If you use packet, you are 
automatically classed as MULTI-OP, MIXED MODE, even if you were 1 
operator on CW only or SSB only...

I also interpret that to mean that there are no CW ONLY or SSB ONLY 
classes in  the MULTI-OP category, even if you don't use packet.

I could be mistaken...

I would like to see Single Op-Assisted classes for CW, SSB or MIXED mode 
entries...This is the only contest I'm aware of that treats a packet 
screen as another operator...
