A panadapter or bandscope gathers no callsigns or other station information, just a general view of band conditions. "Seems to me that ASSISTED or NOT-ASSISTED is splitting hairs - some choose to use
I just sent in my CQWW RTTY log, less than an hour after the end of the contest, and the robot tells me Sorry, youre too late!. Even though I object to CQs policy of public log release, the reason I
