[CQ-Contest] Directed CQ (was SS Reminders)

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

So anyone that gets spotted is assisted?

Many stations get posted much more than everyone else.  Random luck or
assistance?

ND, MT, SD, PAC, VI, VY1 are all spotted quite a bit.  So all those stations
located there should get moved into the assisted category too?
