[CQ-Contest] Why SuperCheckPartial makes you assisted

[Gerry Treas K8GT]

While every one has their standards for their operations, "assisted" has 
been defined by contest sponsors as a source of CALLSIGN and FREQUENCY 
info during the contest.

Personally a list of callsigns that my logger compares to is just that, 
a WAG.

Do what makes y'all comfortable.
