Let's be sure to keep the facts and contest rules straight. These comments
do not convey an understanding of the software and the contest rules. CT
(and I assume most of the other contest software) allows you to connect and
post spots as a single op. This is allowed under the contest rules and many
single unassisted ops do post spots for assisted ops to use.
