If it points you to a QRG outside your current audible passband which 
contains a new callsign or a new multiplier, it is assistance.

The heart of the problem, for those that see a problem, is that this is a 
moving target.

We learned second-hand that VE3EJ had a proposed definition which at least 
one other
VE seems to like.

But IMHO that does not work at all.

So what about using a "skimmer-like" technology (apologies to K1TTT for 
using this term), that
does NOT give you the callsign but DOES look at your log and flags ALL NEW 
MULTS.  Maybe
a star or RED or something.  No callsign (you still have to copy that 
yourself), but a positive,
for sure indication that YOU NEED THIS ONE.

Or in SS, how about not only mults, but new QSOs..."You still need to work 
this guy" flag.  You
don't get his callsign, but you do get the alert.

For the purists out there (include me), if you want to regulate this, you 
had better think hard
and project very far out of the "usual" box.

So many shades of gray and even more opinions.

Season's Greeting to all and may 2011 bring us improved band conditions (if 
we could keep the
CQWW CW low band condition coupled with some real action on 10m, we'd be 
cookin' !!)
