Hmmm..."the critical point that separates it (spotting assistance) from
all the other technology is that the help is coming from other individuals
in real time, during the contest."
OK. Once again, EVERY "Spot-EE" is really receiving "Assistance" from all
the "Spot-ORs" posting "real time" directions on where to find the
"Spot-EE". This is a bona fide valuable "Assistance" that can increase QSO
and Multiplier rates of the "Spot-EE". By definition, that places the
"Spot-EEs" by proxy into an "Assisted" category any way you cut the mustard.
So, what are the Contest Sponsors going to do about this "Reality" now that
the cat is finally out of the bag???????
Inquiring minds would like to know. Preferably, *before* the next contest.
Tnx & 73...
