I agree!  Another PERSON has assisted a packet ( or 2 meter "spotting" net) 
spot.  I did SO2R for the 1st time during CW SS, I sure didn't feel like 
anyone was assisting me.  Well, yeah, my right hand did assist my left 
hand....
Did a spouse ever bring you a coffee or soda while op'ing? Maybe make a 
sandwich?

It's like the Bible..you can interpit it to say anything.  In this case, 
"assisted" means the use of spotting nets, or packet...clear & simple...
