[CQ-Contest] Determining ASSISTED vs NON-ASSISTED -- was: =>RE: Cheating and bad journalism

[David Gilbert]

That seems rather silly and convoluted to me.  The whole concept of 
assisted vs unassisted is based upon whether a single operator performed 
all operating tasks (finding the station, copying the information, etc) 
or not.  The issue of tools is an entirely different matter.

Perhaps there needs to be categories for "COMPUTER LOGGED" and another for "PAPER LOGGED"; after all, those that choose to log on a computer have an unfair advantage over those that choose to log on paper.
