[SCCC] WPX Rule Change Poll

[Drew Arnett]

I've only operated with assistance once while guest operating with a
multimulti just before COVID.

It was fun and definitely interesting to see how it worked contesting
with assistance.

But, I really like the lightweight form of operating without assistance.

Assistance is great in that it can increase overall participation; I
tend to support things that promote amateur radio participation.  I
may try assisted again.  Most likely if pitching in with a team who is
running assisted.  I suspect I'll remain primarily unassisted at least
for solo ops.
