Now, why would you do that? Seriously? By calling "CQ VY1" you're either hoping to get the attention of some VY1 station that would otherwise tune by you and not give you a call (?) or you're implici

The key thing to ask yourself is "Am I receiving assistance from another human?". If you call CQ for VY1 you might get lucky and have J call in. If someone else tells you J is on 14.005 then you hav

Do we have to go down this road again? NO you are not assisted as you did not ask for the assistance in my book it was unsolicited. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing

Why not call? If I need North Dakota and there are some casual North Dakota operators just tuning the band, they probably won't be stopping on every single CQ and answering them. If I am calling spec

I always assumed "assisted" referred to being assisted by another person outside your station. If you have fancy equipment like spectrum monitors, Wullenweber arrays, etc. on your site and use them,

That would be just about exactly like the olden days of 2m voice-based spotting nets, since then replaced by packet spotting nets. The only real difference is when you called out a spot on a spotting

That implies that one can watch a spotting net but so long as you don't actually use a spot, you're "not really assisted". I seriously doubt that interpretation would fly with some contest sponsors.

The contest rules generally describe "assisted" as something like the above; one person (you, the operator) are performing ALL the work with your equipment to make contacts. The rules generally don't

I have to agree with W0MU here. This issue comes down to what your *intent* truly is. The rules need to focus on "intent" to finally clarify this issue. If you *intend* to be helped by another operat
