Let me give a more explicit example.

-----------------------------
Consider this:

I (K5TR) am in the SS.

I still need West Texas and KP4 for a sweep.

I am call CQ and running guys.

Someone calls in and we exchange information.

I ask him, "Do you know where West Texas and/or KP4 are?".

He either does not or does not answer.

I keep running guys.

A few contacts later I work someone else.

I ask him, "Do you know where West Texas and/or KP4 are?".

Still no information.

I keep running guys.

Someone comes by and tells me that NP4A is on 21.354.

I dial my second radio to 21.354 and work NP4A. 

--------------------------------


Can I still enter as a single op unassisted station?

Yes or No

I would like to see a show of hands on this question.
