[CQ-Contest] Define Assistance in 25 words or less

[ktfrog007 at aol.com]

Hi Ria,


>From the CQ WW rules regarding Assistance:


2. QSO finding assistance: The use of any technology or other source that provides call sign or multiplier identification of a signal to the operator. This includes, but is not limited to, use of a CW decoder, DX cluster, DX spotting web sites (e.g., DX Summit), local or remote call sign and frequency decoding technology (e.g., CW Skimmer or Reverse Beacon Network), or operating arrangements involving other individuals.

I think contests that ban CW decoding only do so for multi channel decoders
like CW skimmer and not someone using a code reader.
