[CQ-Contest] IARU HF Rules and Assisted stations ?

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I humbly apologize to the ARRL and all the operators at W1AW/9 this past 
weekend.  I really should have read the rules again before posting my hasty 
reply to Bob, UT1IA and the reflector.

Use of packet is indeed allowed for multi-op stations, to which most of the 
HQ stations qualify.

Furthermore, the practice of "self-spotting", while I personally don't like 
it, isn't prohibited by the rules.  And even if it were, Jim KH2D has a 
good point that there is no way to verify that the station that's making 
the spots is actually who they claim to be.
