My previous post directed attention to the CQWWDX language on what constitutes
"assisted." If you missed
it, go here: http://www.cqww.com/rules.php Note section 12.A. The 2nd
sentence. Or see my original
post here:

So what about the ARRL DX test? Here is their Rule. Note 2.1.1 The verb is
"use" not "receive." Again,
in my simple mind, if you send a DX spot or provide assistance, that falls
within the definition of "use." I
mean, if you use cluster or packet to SEND a spot, are you not USING the
spotting network?
[snip]
2.1.Single Operator: One person performs all transmitting, receiving, and
logging functions as well
as equipment and antenna adjustments.
2.1.1.Use of spotting assistance or nets (operating arrangements
involving other individuals,
DX-alerting nets, packet, Internet, multi-channel decoders such as CW Skimmer,
etc) is not permitted.
