[CQ-Contest] Self Spotting

[ku8e at bellsouth.net]

It also says the rules for a specific contest override the general rules, which is one of the rules George quoted.

Does that mean the statement for SOA and multi-ops in the actual ARRL DX Contest rules

"2.2.1.Use of spotting assistance or nets (operating arrangements involving other individuals, DX-alerting nets, packet, etc) not physically located at the station IS permitted."  can be interepted that
you CAN self spot ??  Especially the part about "operating arrangements involving other individuals"
