[CQ-Contest] Self-spotting explanation from CQWW blog

[DXer]

Hi Rich,

 >>Don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of keeping the single-op category, 
always have  been.

Single-op is the heart and soul of ham radio and contesting. I cannot 
imagine it being discarded.

 >>But prohibiting self-spotting in single-op unassisted means these
enforcement issues will continue to hound us

If a participant chooses single-op unassisted, how is self-spotting a 
factor?

 >>And if the rules are changed to allow self-spotting, how does one 
self-spot in single-op without the Internet?

Again, if the decision was to participate in the unassisted category, 
why is self-spotting or not an issue. Unassisted means no access to the 
benefits of spotting, sent or received, self or otherwise.

As for internet access or not, I believe the RF based cluster still 
exist in some places. It may not be as common as in years past, but if 
available, it cannot be ignored by the rules.
