[CQ-Contest] The meaning of words

[v31jp at logical123.net]

Bill,

It depends on the contest. ARRL uses the words "operating
arrangements" which would allow the happen stance information
as described. CQ, on the other hand, in their wording would
penalize a station that had this happen to him. The difference
being the arrangement of spotting information to be available
would make you a single op assisted in both cases and the
unarranged information would make you single op assisted in
the CQ contests.

ARRL-
2.1.1. Use of spotting assistance or nets (operating arrangements
       involving other individuals, DX-alerting nets, packet, 
       Internet, etc) is not permitted.

CQ-
1. Single Operator High: Those stations at which one person performs
   all of the operating, logging, and spotting functions. The use of
   DX alerting assistance of any kind places the station in the Single
   Operator Assisted category.
