That's why other contests should follow the (now old) lead of DARC and the WAE. Combine the two SO categories. They're pretty much indistinguishable and unenforceable now.

And that's why we should also combine the QRP, LP and HP
categories, and combine the SO and MO categories, and do
away with physical boundaries for stations, because they
are all pretty much indistinguishable and unenforceable.

Or maybe not?

The existing differences between SO and SOA may not matter
to W2UP, but they matter to me when, as a single-op, I do
not use real-time spotting assistance from other operators,
or from remote receivers (RBN) or from local multi-channel
CW decoders.

I agree with Ed - it was a terrible decision to allow panadapters and waterfalls in the unassisted category. It was obvious to me that it wouldn't take long for bandmaps to be merged with these displays, making unassisted and assisted indistinguishable to the adjudicators, even with a recording. The law of unintended consequences.

Hi Ed,

How did you feel when you bought your first memory keyer that could be
programmed for serial numbers? Mine was an AEA, sometime in the '60s, I
think. Do you use programmable memories and dupe-checking with logging
software? Or are you still sending everything with a paddle, logging
with pencil and paper, and using a paper dupe sheet like we did in the
'50s?

This is why panadapters and waterfalls should never have been allowed
in the
unassisted category.  And why I have never used them.
