[CQ-Contest] Assistance & Entry Status

[n6hc at aol.com]

I think it is a sad state of affairs when there seem to be so many individuals on this reflector that can't seem to get their arms around the concept of HELPING SOMEONE ELSE during the contest to enjoy the contesting experience by posting rare multipliers.??They all seem to be so focused on THEMSELVES that the concept of a helping hand is foreign.? This is the world we live in today.? (sigh)? Not everyone can/will win the contest but we can ALL ENJOY the contest.? I don't see the other contesting participants as RIVALS;? I see them as fellow amateurs reveling in the experience of a yearly event.? I look forward to participating in each contest and helping every one of the like-minded contesters that I have the pleasure of contacting by adding to their QSO total or providing them with a needed multiplier.? BTW...I have only entered the single op assisted class once (just to try the bandmapping feature of my logging software).? I enjoy searching for multipliers the old fashion 
 way.? But I have no difficulty UNDERSTANDING the posting of stations playing in the contest by those individuals who?enter in the assisted (Unlimited) category.
What a selfish world we live in!
My two cents. YMMV

I've never understood this, either.  Why share your rare multipliers with
the competition?
