Then you would say that using a local CW Skimmer is also okay in the unassisted category because it uses your own antennas and computers and equipment ?

That has never been allowed in the CQWW rules.

There's no real reason to expand the definition of "assistance" from
using DX clusters and the RBN. My view is that if you are solely
receiving signals using your own antennas and your own computers and
equipment, then you are not "assisted."

Comments on CWWW Rules 2015:

VIII. DEFINITION OF TERMS

2. QSO alerting assistance


The only thing the change does is prohibit
single-frequency CW decoders, which provide no competitive advantage and
may
be needed by ops with hearing problems.


It doesn't "prohibit" single-frequency CW decoders, it just means that use
of a single-frequency CW decoder places you in the Assisted category. What's
so bad about that ?
