Joe - If I bought into your definition of DX alerting assistance of any kind,
but had my viewpoint on Skimmer, I would then argue, using your logic, that if
someone put out a very short CQ (which will happen) for the express purpose of
being "spotted" on hundreds of skimmers it was assistance because the CQing
station was a person and was providing assistance to the single operator - in
effect self spotting himself. This is every bit as reasonable an argument as
you are making regarding assistance of any kind.
The CQ WW rule says:
The use of DX alerting assistance of any
kind places the station in the Single
Operator Assisted category.
Name a few of the DX alerting assistance examples, other than packet, that
would be outlawed for single operator and allowed for Single Operator Assisted
without putting the entrant in the Multi-Single Category. In other words what
does OF ANY KIND mean and what are some examples.
