Joe,

making the contacts."
No, it's not. If you involve another person in your operation, you are
multi-op.
Several stations have made same this error and have been disqualified in
recent years.
You also said:
"Since the term first came into use, "assisted" has always meant another
person, whether on site or remotely, who provided spotting information."
No, it has not. It is related to receiving DX alerting assistance from *any*
other source as clearly defined in the rules.
73,

I am not redefining the debate on my own terms as you have done.
I keep trying to bring the debate back to the traditional frame
of reference. "Assisted" is simply a shorthand for defining the
participation by an additional person or persons in an "operator"
role who is not actually making the contacts. Since the term
first came into use, "assisted" has always meant another person,
whether on site or remotely, who provided spotting information.
"Assisted" has never been applied to productivity enhancing
technology of any description - including those technologies that
form the basis of skimmer type systems.
