[CQ-Contest] NAQP (A) class

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

I agree with your advocacy of an assisted class, Bill, but it's not just 
Skimmers.  Any spottingproduces the same phenomenon.  I suspect that 
many people get on during NAQP and use spots, not because they are 
cheating but because they use the occasion to finish multi-band WAS 
awards.  In the past, I have run power in NAQP and submitted Checklogs, 
simply lookingfor "rate fun."

Also, making spots per se is not illegal - you could turn on the "Spot 
all S&P QSOs" function in N1MM Logger, and so long as you "SEt NOdx" at 
the cluster, it is perfectly legal, because you are *receiving* no 
assistance.
