[CQ-Contest] Single Op Unassisted - Propagation Assistance?

[Eric Scace K3NA]

   I occasionally get the chance to operate SOAB-HP unassisted.  I use DXAtlas and Ionoprobe, both of which download real-time data
from the Internet.

   In reading the WW rules, nothing seems to remotely imply that this would be unacceptable.

Although I haven't operated single op in a long time, several radio friends of
mine still do. I really admire them!
Lots of questions come and go over a good cup of coffee.

I am curious what this group thinks concerning the use of the Internet for
single op unassisted stations? Do you think it is within the spirit of the
rules to obtain real-time propagation data (or any other data) from Internet
sites during the contest period if you are single-op unassisted? Just curious.
