I am really not following this whole assisted/unassisted debate, but just have one small comment (for those who analyze frequencies in logs): Don't assume all unassisted ops follow a linear search pattern. When I operate S&P (unassisted) for example I pick out stations on a SDR panadapter most of the time rather than turning a knob. So the qso's I make may sometimes hop around the band and not be in any particular frequency order.
