The CQ World Wide DX Contest (both Phone and CW) _does_ have a "Single 
Operator Assisted" category for those who use spotting assistance (via 
cluster, skimmer, web sites, etc.)  The SOA category does not have 
separate power distinctions, so if you enter the SOA category, you will
potentially be competing against stations running high power even if you 
do not use high power.

See CQWW contest rule III.A.3:
http://www.cqww.com/2009_Rules_cqww.pdf


In general, for contests that do not have single-operator assisted categories
and that do not allow single-operators to use assistance, using the cluster
or a skimmer would place you into a multi-operator category, not SOHP.
