[CQ-Contest] Determining ASSISTED vs NON-ASSISTED -- was: =>RE: Chea

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

I posted this with tongue in cheek.  If you want to get technical, 
someone bringing you food, drink etc.  allows you to keep your butt in 
the chair, which is indirectly involved working guys.  Doesn't it?

It all comes down to where does the contest sponsor draw the line?  What 
can you enforce?  Does the honor system really work?
