Steve,

Certainly there is a deficiency in the wording quoted below. I'd tend to add
the following: ... as well as use of any other information from an external
source which may affect your contest score. 

I believe, you agree that a spot about yourself wakes you up, information
about a sudden propagation blackout sends you to bed for some time, etc,
while others with no internet access suffer from lack of such kind of
information and therefore act differently. As a result, you have an
advantage over them even without any QSO alerting information as is. 

73,
Vlad VE3IAE

Hello Peter,

2. QSO alerting assistance: The use of any technology or other source that
provides call sign or multiplier identification along with frequency
information to the operator.
-------------

When my logging program tells me I have been spotted it provides me two
informations, my own callsign and the frequency I am running on.

My own callsign is not a workable callsign nor a workable multiplier for me
so I am confident I am not cheating if I claim Unassisted.
