But it IS written into the rules for at least CQWW:

http://www.cqww.com/2008_rules_cqww.pdf

Found at least four times in the above document:

"Selfspotting or asking to be spotted is not allowed."


I also believe that ARRL has a proviso about NOT setting this up:

"operating arrangements involving other individuals [snip] is not permitted."
