Pretty much *anything* can be considered "assistance" if you take it to the
extreme.  

There are a lot of extremists on this list.

 

EX: You put on fresh underwear before you sat down to operate and now feel
great and thus so you're at a distink<sic> advantage over Mr. Stinky Drawers
across town who's washing machine broke down a week ago.

 
or the call history file when last year everyone was named BIG FRANK and now they gone back to their real name.....just because you have a "file" doesnt mean it assisted you.....or all thr wrong packet/telnet spots......that why some like the term single-op distracted.....


just a boy and his radio and his pc.....


Look guys..when it gets down to it..anything that can provide callsign and
frequency information

(IE: ZS1ABC is on 14.001) in more or less real time can be considered true
'assistance'.

 

Those who bellyache about SCP crack me up. If I type in K1Z and K1ZM and
K1ZZ (and 24 2-letter other combos) (way more if it maybe was a 3 letter
sfx) come up on my "Super Check Partial" box, there is no way that is going
to make the decision as to who it was I just heard.  Only thing that will
decide that is my brain.

 

Since I am not a touch typist, the SCP just saves me a little typing here
and there.

 

Now everyone go put on their (fresh) big boy pants and get back to the
radio.
