Self spotting is not allowed by the rules. Packet is, self spotting is not.
Cheerleading is not against the rules. Spotting yourself is. I even had a
station ask me to spot him. My interpretation of the rules would now put
this station in the assisted class if they were not already. Reported.
I am not concerned with cheerleading or the non participant spotting
himself.
People claiming unassisted while assisted is a problem and if the sponsors
know who the cheaters are then why the secrecy?

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] arrl dx ssb spotting report
I am wondering what the ARRL Contest desk would do with this report. Most
spots are valid even those by excited club members associated with the
Dxpeditions.
The only valid violations are the entrants who use packet or Dx Summit et al
without reporting as being assisted. The contest desk or their assistants
can use sleuthing to uncover IP addresses to those logged on (sometimes).
Rest assured most contest checkers KNOW who is violating the rules.
Please don't make everyone guilty.
