         Correct, but the issue on the table is whether Skimmer
constitutes assistance.  Yes my records were all unassisted.  I
also had a competitor who claimed his multiplier totals (comparable
to multi-multis) were because he was using the Sub receiver in
his FT-1000MP <ggg>.  I bet he also had a good Internet connection!
;-)  BTW CQ reclassified him to Assisted at least a couple of times.

        Since it will be virtually impossible to distinguish Skimmer
spots from Packet spots, I predict the next step in cheating will
be to claim you're using Skimmer (if allowed for unassisted) even
if you are actually using Packet (i.e. assisted).  :-(
