Hi Ken. My point was referring to an HOA limited contester that thought
assisted was helping him. I dispute that. Assisted is dumping him into all of
the places where all the point and clickers are going. Without a good signal,
your rate drops as you fight the piles. Way better to tune across and find the
loudest signals and work those.

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.
