Agreed ... the second receiver (e.g., SO2R) shares more in 
common with CW Skimmer (a second receiver) than with the 
"old" definition of "assisted" (packet/internet).  This 
new restriction on CW Skimmer is nothing more than the 
"not invented here" syndrome ... a few "opinion makers" 
have decided that skimmer threaten their established order 
and now after memory keyers, CW decoders, logging software,  
super check partial (provided by one of the leading SO2R 
operators threatened by skimmer technology), and post-
contest log scrubbing are "the norm" for single operators 
new productivity enhancing technology is suddenly to be 
considered "assistance."  

CQ's new rules are total bull
