[CQ-Contest] SO vs. SOA Scores

[Richard L. King]

Are you saying that using packet is the same thing as your wife 
bringing you a sandwich.

Sorry, I just don't see that.

The trouble is that this subject can be nitpicked to death. There are 
just too many "help" scenarios that can be thought up and you can't 
logically group them into the "using packet" class, whatever name it 
goes by. Using packet is very different and really helps my score, 
while a sandwich does nothing for my score.

Though I sometimes feel there are too many categories these days, if 
it encourages more activity I am OK with it.

And I don't think anything anyone says here will cause the "assisted" 
and "unassisted" categories to be combined. Nor will it create rules 
saying a single-op has to operate from a sealed room.

Happy holidays.
