It was recently posted that: [snip] That's not Single-Op Assisted, that's (technically) Multioperator. The definition of "Assisted" in both CQ and ARRL contests is specifically limited to spotting as
While we are nit-picking this subject to death, let me add another nit: As someone on this reflector pointed out well before this contest season began, there is an editorial flaw in the CQ WW Contest

There might not be any proof, but if what I suggested happens multiple times throughout a contest, something's fishy. Here's 2 different scenarios, assume I'm single op high power unassisted category
I think the logic comes into focus when you see a pattern of behavior over a number of QSOs where the average time from when a spot appears until it appears in the log is significantly different than
"There are other indicators - like what is the frequency profile of the QSOs. For example, if the frequencies are jumping around instead of monotonic - it could be an indicator that something is up."

Steve, Notice that my post stated "the first time a dx is spotted on the cluster during the contest" and I noted it happened multiple times throughout a contest. You'd be hard pressed to scan through
Hi Steve, I think it's important to take the WHOLE of what Tree said, not just bits of it. First off, he said a pattern of the circumstances COMBINE to suggest cheating. But he also said that it only
