In this age of Evinrude and Mercury and Honda and....  it seems almost 
archaic to have sailboat races.

In this age of trains and planes and automobiles.....   it seems almost 
archaic to have 26-mile footraces called marathons.

etc, etc, etc, etc.

Nothing against those who use RBN, Spotting, Skimmer, etc --- they have 
their own category and it is alive and well.

There are many of us who wish to play in a radiosport contest with no 
spotting assistance.   We simply want to preserve a category where we use 
only our own receivers and ears to stalk down and bag the prey.  We'd no 
longer be able to be competitive if lumped into assisted/unlimited.

The easy way to not worry about any of this is to just enter SOABHP(A). In 
this
age of RBN and local skimmers and bandscopes, it seems almost archaic to 
have
an unassisted class.
