Yep, part of the fun of SS for me is trolling the bands looking for someone looking for a VO for the sweep. I got no problem with that and I try to make the contact whenever I hear it. I would have
Tree, et. al., Technological innovation is inevitable. It won't be too long before your bandscope shows the callsigns of every station on the band. Will that make you "unassisted?" Clearly, this ("ra
This is an interesting question. About 20 years ago, I produced the "Z80 Op" that could make QSOs on its own. Is that an operator? One thing is for sure - as technology improves, the "art of contesti

Let me give a more explicit example. -- Consider this: I (K5TR) am in the SS. I still need West Texas and KP4 for a sweep. I am call CQ and running guys. Someone calls in and we exchange information.

To K5TR's question at the end of his post... That's pushing the moral compass way past the strict definition of "one operator doing all the logging and operating." The contest organizers should add s

Technically, you are requesting assistance therefore it *should be* considered grounds for entry in the "Assisted" category. However, it is not the direct use of a spotting network, unless you want

This would put you in the "assisted" category. Doing this and entering "unassisted" would be cheating. 73 - Mark, N5OT _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Cont
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: -- REPLY FOLLOWS -- It will have no effect. To be "assisted" you have spot information sent to you by a person, either directly over the air, over the phone or by packet. A bandscop
I say No - you're multi-op. It could then be argued that if you're more than 500 metres from the other station you should be DQd. However, some others will say Yes, on the grounds that what you've do

I've changed my mind due to more research and my response to another posting. If you asked for assistance it denotes a plan to get assistance and is therefore grounds to be placed in the "Assisted" c
If you call CQ all the time you operate, or just S&P between CQ runs, you can enter as single op unassisted. Other than that I would probably enter as assisted. 73, Keith NM5G --Original Message-- Fr
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: -- REPLY FOLLOWS -- If you call "CQ VY1" and a VY1 answers, you are still unassisted. But if someone else replies and tells you where to find the VY1, you are assisted - if and only
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: -- REPLY FOLLOWS -- No, if you act on the information you are now assisted. The crucial item is whether a third party helped you find the needed station, and in your example, he did
My hand goes up for 'Yes', you can still enter as single op unassisted. But, this example is on the margin, which is why you are asking about it, and I would be happy with either 'Yes' or 'No'. I gr
