Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Single Op/Get Scores Assisted
I don't think that would be legal. There are two parts to a "DX spot" that BOTH
contain information:
1. the station's call
2. the frequency where that station is
Even if you only give someone SOME of all available information you are still
giving assistance. The key here is that it is a frequency where another station
is known to be located.
Note that you CAN do something slightly different: find the location of all
signal peaks on a band. Those can be determined mathematically without needing
to decode the station's callsign. Signal peaks could equally well be coming
from
RFI from your neighbor's plasma TV or someone tuning up as another contest
station. This is what I do in my software SO2SDR. No internet is needed to do
this. Yes, they can then be used to determine what frequencies are clear.
