And I don't know if N1MM or the other Windows contest loggers offers it,
but CT offered the ability to send spots without receiving them.

Just because you have internet connectivity does not mean you are
using it to receive spots. There are commands on every DX cluster for
disabling receipt of spots. For example, on an AR-node, "set/dx/output
off". This way, you can send self-spots (or any spots) without
receiving spots.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of keeping the single-op category,

one self-spot in single-op without the Internet?
That was my point.

Hi Rich:
I do not agree that forcing everyone who wants to compete onto the
internet ("nail in the coffin for the single operator categories") is
the right answer - I think we should retain single-operator categories.
Clearly, the assisted and multi-operator categories will continue to
move more and more on to the internet (self-spotting, social media,
etc.). There should continue to be single operator categories for
the luddites like me who want the option to play on the radio - and
these categories should prohibit self-spotting.
There may be cheating that cannot be detected, similar to the
situation with power cheating and remote receivers, but that is not a
sufficient reason to eliminate categories. Otherwise, we end up with
a single category: "anything goes".
