Hi Zack,
My opinion FWIW: It depends on whether he ASKED to be spotted or not.
Does not make a difference, see below.
Stations that are assisted in the contest can spot whoever they wish; they
have no idea of what category the station they are spotting is entering,
and they do it of their own free will.
Sure. Nonetheless it *is* helping the spotted station. Isn't that
assistance, too? ;-)
Now, if the other station ASKED to
be spotted, that's a whole different slant. I'd put him in the Assisted
category in that case.
Asking to be spotted is usually against the rules and base for a DQ
rather than a reclassification (for CQ WW see IX. General Rules, bullet 4).
