It has been said that if I am operated SOU and a friend stops by and says
'xx8xx is on 14.200', and I go work him I'm now assisted.
What if I find xx8xx on my own and he says 'I'm also listening on 7200', and
I go work him. Does that make me assisted? I wouldn't have known he was
there without him telling me, as I'm not using packet cluster. That seems
to violate the 'locate' part of unassisted. 73

>Single Operator (that is, one who is operating Without Assistance) must
*alone* perform both of the following activities:
#1 - locate (tune in) each signal AND
#2 - identify each callsign that will be entered into his log.
Both #1 and #2 requirements must be met in order to be considered single op.
The operator must #1 locate or tune in each signal (or set his radio to a
specific frequency by turning a dial, or initiate frequency selection by
computer control or whatever) AND
#2, he must identify (or copy) the callsign of that station he located by
himself.
