[CQ-Contest] Does Using ViewProp Make You Assisted

[Chris Hurlbut]

Of course it makes you assisted.
It provides "multiplier identification" as far as I'm concerned.  What a
great way to keep an eye on 10m during marginal conditions!  When are the
single ops in the Caribbean firing up on 160?  Easy, just look at the map!


No frequency information required.  You know it's open, you will find them.
1000 examples would be easy to come up with, but a debate is not required
in this case.
