Policing are we?
As you've obviously forgotten, this particular thread was generated on discussion of the fact that John, MM0CCC/P, a member of the CC, mentioned that his activity in the May Contest from the Island of Tiree would be a check log as he would need to use ON4KST to make his presence known if he was able to get a mobile telephone signal. As it happened, he couldn't get one.

Yes Paul, it does.
It is now part and parcel of VHF+ contesting throughout Europe since the technology appeared. We can't go backwards but just like HF contesting once the cluster appeared, we should be given the section choice of going assisted or not.
