[CQ-Contest] "It's just to save on typing"

[Richard Thorne]

The real discussion here is what is considered 'Assisted'.

Here's my opinion:

     - If your using Super Check Partial, your Assisted
     - If your using Packet/Telnet, your Assisted
     - If your using a history database, your Assisted

If you really want to go single op non-assisted, turn off all of the 
help me figure out the other ops call and exchange data....
