[CQ-Contest] CQWW Assisted - Is it just another Urban Myth ?

[Trent Sampson]

Hi Ed, 

You said, 

"Others are simply looking at the efficiency gain of being fed spots and the fact that their eyes add another receptor beyond their 2 ears and that adds to their efficiency as well."

Please find one example in the High Scores of the CQWW or the CQWPX that supports your hypothesis ... 

By the way I prefer SOAB unassisted - if on the rare occasion I am not in a multi op

What is the motivation for Assisted Operators to even care if there is an unassisted class?  How is it harming you in any way that other - equally as important as you - people choose to contest the way we grew up and enjoyed it?  It doesn't bother me that its "possible" for someone in the class to cheat.  It didn't bother me that it was "possible" for someone to cheat in Low Power class when I choose to compete in that class.  I know what I am doing and I know when something smells bad out there as well.

 

I choose to compete in unassisted because I love the balance.  Others are simply looking at the efficiency gain of being fed spots and the fact that their eyes add another receptor beyond their 2 ears and that adds to their efficiency as well.  I have no strike against those and realize, it helps.
Good for them.

 

Until someone can tell me how what I choose to do for my better enjoyment harms them, I respectfully ask for the ability to choose the class I better enjoy.

 

Thank you.
