[CQ-Contest] Real Time Scoreboards

[Mike Fatchett]

It is also pretty easy to exceed the 1500 watt limit with most of the high
end amplifiers.

So I can't use the internet to solve software problem or read my business
email during a contest either?

Cheaters will always find a way to cheat.

Interesting question, Bob.

The rule as currently written: The use of DX alerting assistance of any kind
places the station in the Single Operator Assisted category. 

Since posting one's score is not DX Alerting, it should not place one in the
Assisted category.

However, in my opinion, any use of the Internet during a contest should
place a single op in the assisted category.  Once using the Internet for one
thing, it's too easy to use it for other things such as browsing the Web
Cluster.  Not to hijack the thread, but what is the Committee's opinion on
Internet use for non-DX Alerting such as looking up WWV solar indices,
sunrise/sunset times, etc. as it applies to single op vs. assisted?
