[CQ-Contest] NAQP CW - Rules Changes Needed

[ktfrog007 at aol.com]

Hi Ed,

You'll need to explain the statement:

"And as someone who ran 10 years low power, I can tell you that assisted provides ZERO help in S & P."

Strictly speaking, if you are operating assisted you are likely doing Point and Click (Smith & Wesson) on the spots.  That doesn't stop you from doing S&P otherwise, looking for stuff the RBN missed, but I don't think that's what you're saying. Or maybe it is.

As I said earlier, S&P in addition to P&C doesn't add much.  Just a few missed spots.

73,
Ken, AB1J

I almost never enter NAQP officially because I don't typically have the time when it comes around to get serious.  Yet Vermont is a desired mult.  So I typically fire up the amp and just run for an hour or two as I did last weekend (about 80 mins).  Just to give out the mult.

Doesn't matter to me what the rules are.  I am just handing out mults.

If people like assisted, nothing prevents them from doing the same.

And as someone who ran 10 years low power, I can tell you that assisted provides ZERO help in S & P.  It does however help you "get found" with the skimmer.  But you don't have to enter assisted to get that benefit.
