It is a rules violation even if they are in a catagory 
that allows assistance. 

from:

http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-all.html

3.14. In contests where spotting nets are permissible, spotting your
      own station or requesting another station to spot you is not
      permitted.
