[CQ-Contest] Is it time that the contest sponsors officially identify SCP as "assisted?"

You are correct Ed. The word assisted is the hangup. A pan adapter, PC
keying, SCP, computer logging and dupe checking and even the XYL
bringing a soft drink to the shack are forms of assistance. Perhaps
switching to the ARRL "Unlimited" term would better and consistent among
contests.
