OK, just for the heck of it, I'm going to run this one past all the
arm-chair lawyers not busy working SS right now for an opinion. I'd like to
know if I'm off track.
Recently operated a mid-range domestic contest. Was supposed to have a few
ops come over to run Multi-Single, but between one thing and another (flu,
changing work schedules, and so forth) no one showed, so I ran the rig all
by my lonesome.
However... I did monitor the DX cluster and used it to help me find some
multipliers I needed.
This contest does not have an "assisted" category. The rules as they
currently stand do not mention anything about the clusters or their use in
any way, shape, or form.
I feel that by rights, since I had assistance via the cluster from other
ops, I should enter as a Multi-Single.
A good friend (who is not on this reflector, AFAIK) who is not a "hard core"
contester, at least not yet, tells me that I'm nuts, I should enter as
Single Operator. When I mention the cluster, his attitude is "who cares?
Besides, everyone does it." [I know, a bad attitude, but I'm working with
him (he is yet young).]
Regardless... am I wrong in feeling that the right thing to do in this
situation is to enter as M/S?
