[CQ-Contest] Assisted Low Power?

[Steve London]

Jamie,

You started out this thread arguing for combining the assisted and unassisted 
into a single category, based on a false premise that the unassisted competitors 
  would still do very well in the combined category.

Now we see your true colors - you don't like the way that unassisted has 
separate high, low (and QRP) power categories, but assisted lumps them all into 
a single power category.

I see nothing wrong with having separate high, low and QRP assisted categories. 
That should provide a significant boost to contesting activity levels, which is 
always a good thing !

73,
Steve, N2IC
