I don't know about call history and SCP. Those provide a list, not a
single call. And I believe that those are universally accepted.
The issue seems to be for guys who want to use the cluster in contests
that prohibit the use. So the right answer there is to get a new
category introduced (which is what started the NAQP discussion), or to
find another contest to play in. I personally think adding an assisted
mode category to NAQP would be a good thing because it would help push
up participation.

Excellent! No cluster, no RBN, no Super-check partial, and no prefill
such as call history. Also no auto filled exchange element, such as zone.
Let’s put Radiomen back in radiosport.

Simple. Assisted is using any source of a callsign other than from
your
head (CW/SSB) - or from your single signal decoder (CW/RTTY) on the

future we'll have a zero Op, one Transmitter, and even zero op,
multi transmitter categories, with computers/robots doing all he
copying, sending, receiving.Then we need not worry about assisted
or non assisted. It will ALL be assisted while we sit back and
drinque brown 807's and watch the computers battle it out.

Others, like N8XX, say it's exchange information. Still others
say propagation info, panadapters, SDRs, code readers, computers,
the Internet, loggers, SCP, country files, CW keyers, keyboard CW,
voice keyers, SO2R, remote operation, a comfy chair, a tolerant
spouse, clear skies, fair winds and following seas, and so on.
