[CQ-Contest] Assisted or multi op.?

[aldewey at aol.com]

I recall this same issue from the RTTY Roundup.  If I understand the rules correctly for these ARRL contests,
this effectively rules out operating SO2R while using packet.  I am hoping that this will be something that league 
will ask the CAC to evaluate because it has never made sense to me.

I agree that a Single Op Assisted category is needed here.

I think I probably did - I wasn't serious in any case.  Maybe I'll 
ubmit as a check log to make the point that they need an Assisted category.

 If you enter as Multi-Single, I hope you followed the ten minute on a 
 band rule.  And that's ten minutes on the same mode as well as same band.
 Off hand, I believe the ARRL contests where packet gets classed into 
 Multi-Single are single band contests where a 10 minute rule does not 
 exist.
 There really is a big no-man's land in IARU for packet users.

     It's sort of funny the way the rule is worded - as if using spotting
     assistance is shameful.  Several ARRL contests don't have a single-op
     assisted category, but they classify single op + packet as
     multi-single,
     just as IARU does, but without the pejorative tone.  I'm entering as
     multi-single.
