[CQ-Contest] It's time for an Assisted category in NAQP

I think Pete has an excellent idea!  Since multipliers count on 
each band, a few CQ's on a "dead" band like 10 Meters could be 
picked up by Skimmers and draw some action - more fun for 
everyone!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] It's time for an Assisted category in NAQP

Judging by the commentary recently on various reflectors (and my 
own
experience last weekend), it is time for NAQP to institute an 
Assisted
category, rather than lumping all one-transmitter assisted 
stations into
Multi-2.  The M-2 class's band change rule makes zero sense for 
one
transmitter assisted - I'll be losing credit for some QSOs 
because it
never occurred to me that it would cover a single-transmitter 
competitor.

ARRL 160 CW and ARRL 10M contests got rid of this anachronism a 
few
years ago - it's time for NAQP to follow suit.  I don't know who 
decides
such things, but trust that Chris will know who needs to take 
action.
