[CQ-Contest] NAQP CW - Rules Changes Needed

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

Now that this running is behind us, the organizers need to seriously 
consider a change in the rules.

It is unnecessary, and downright punitive, to push assisted single ops 
into Multi-2, instead of creating a separate single op assisted 
category. Many of us, with limited antennas (see HOAs) can only S&P. 
Without assistance, operating becomes a deadly boring sequence of tune, 
copy, type the call in, be told it's a dupe, and repeat.

The rule now consigns assisted ops to submergence in the multi-op 
category, when it would be so simple to create a single-op assisted 
category. It's certainly not in the interest of expanding NAQP 
participation to continue punishing assisted ops this way.  Time to act!
