[CQ-Contest] Assisted

[Jeff Blaine]

Guys who favor assisted operation often take this position.

I operate most contests unassisted and like to think (???) that the guys 
I'm competing against are also under the same constraints of having to 
work for their mults by finding them or attracting them.
