[CQ-Contest] Spotting Questions (wasRe: KA1LMR and opinions)

[N7MAL]

I feel as if I just entered the twi-lite zone. The first time this question was asked somewhere around 1986 by Jim, W6YA.
The answer then is the same as it is today. It is perfectly legal but it leads to to many questions/accusations that it is not worth it in the long run.

  OK, so let's turn this thread into something a bit more positive. It  
  is rather clear that receiving and using spots during a contest puts  
  an SO into the assisted category. It is also now clear that asking  
  others to spot you does the same (and is illegal anyway). It should  
  also be clear that an SO benefitting from incidental spots still  
  continues as an SO (non-assisted).

  How about going the other way? Can an SO post spots to the spotting  
  system without having to be in the assisted category? The station  
  isn't getting any benefit from the spots, although his fellow club  
  members probably are. It is relatively easy to turn off received  
  spots in most logging programs while still allowing outgoing spots.  
  So why would one do this? Specifically to help fellow club members  
  who _are_ running SOA or multi.

  So, illegal or not? And secondly, good or bad form?
