Multi-op stations can use the internet as long as they don't solicit
QSO's. That's the category most ops who use spotting assistance in VHF
tests enter.
HF contests have a "ASSISTED" category for single ops, which means they can
monitor spotting nets, ect, but still CAN NOT actively solicit QSO's.
CQWW VHF now has a rule that allows ops to make basic announcements about
where they are calling CQ, ect. Personally, I think the ARRL should
consider adding this rule to their VHF test.
