Simple. Assisted is using any source of a callsign other than from your
head (CW/SSB) - or from your single signal decoder (CW/RTTY) on the
operating QRG of the moment. 28 words (a few added to enhance clarity)

There's already an assisted category. Anyone who uses prefills from past
NAQP's have been assisted by this feature of most logging software.What more do
we need?I predict that in the near future we'll have a zero Op, one
Transmitter, and even zero op, multi transmitter categories, with
computers/robots doing all he copying, sending, receiving.Then we need not
worry about assisted or non assisted. It will ALL be assisted while we sit back
and drinque brown 807's and watch the computers battle it out.

The contest community should hire some underemployed lawyers to come up with a
definition of Assistance.
Some say it's spotting information (clusters, RBN, skimmers). Others, like
N8XX, say it's exchange information. Still others say propagation info,
panadapters, SDRs, code readers, computers, the Internet, loggers, SCP, country
files, CW keyers, keyboard CW, voice keyers, SO2R, remote operation, a comfy
chair, a tolerant spouse, clear skies, fair winds and following seas, and so on.
I'd add in transceivers and SSB. Try a phone contest sometime on AM with
separate TX and RX. Log and dupe with paper and pencil (and eraser). Those
were manly contests.
Air conditioning is nice, too, in the summer.
73 and may the band rise to meet you,
