[CQ-Contest] The meaning of words

[Robert Naumann]

Actually, Bill, that's not correct.

In this example, the operator has enlisted help from his club buddies.

Your position on this is similar to the "I had packet on, but didn't act on
it" argument.

In both cases, you have arranged for an assistance system to be in place and
operational, whether or not you 'act on it'.  By definition, this is
assisted operating.

Once you've heard that WB1GQR is up 10 KHz, you cannot wind back the clock
and pretend that you did not hear it.  Also, in this case, you would have
asked your club member pal to get on the air, look for multipliers for you
and to provide you assistance in this manner.

The point of this is that information that you become aware of while
operating within limits of your category in a completely random,
non-prearranged fashion, cannot be considered  "assistance" from the
perspective of which operating category your are in.

Only if you act on the assistance.  If you totally ignore it, there is
no assistance.
