Ev, answering hypothetical questions in order:
1-YES !!! External Assistance
2-YES !!! External Assistance
3-NO !!! You could be using packet spots for DX right to the start time, then
shut down your connection.
I doubt that the 30 min of spots would provide much info you could
use in the contest.
4-MAYBE !!! Some contest software allows you send spots without receiving
spots. It requires you read
the rules for the particular contest you are working. "SELF
SPOTTING" is definitely OUT !!!
It's Contest time, gota shut down my internet spot connection now !!!
