[CQ-Contest] Assisted vs Unassisted

[Bob Kupps via CQ-Contest]

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.
