My sentiments exactly Hans, and my compliments to the contest committees for their preservation of these "classic" classes and policing the rules governing the various competition classes. Some classes, e.g. QRP, are ridiculously vulnerable to undetectable but effective cheating however that does not deter me in the slightest from competing in those classes... sometimes naivete is a good thing hihi

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.
