Hi all:
Not sure why there are so many posts about "assisted." It is in the rules.
http://www.cqww.com/WW%20Rules%202006.pdf
Look under the definition of SINGLE OP. It says, "Those stations at which one
person performs all of the operating, logging, and spotting functions."
If is not you (or whomever), then you are not single op. It has nothing to do
with "keyers" or antenna raising, or who cooks your meals, etc.
Good advice (always, in all things): Read ALL the rules.
And for those in need:
OPERATE
1. to work, perform, or function, as a machine does: This engine does not
operate properly.
2. to work or use a machine, apparatus, or the like.
3. to act effectively; produce an effect; exert force or influence (often fol.
by on or upon): Their propaganda is beginning to operate on the minds of the
people.
4. to perform some process of work or treatment.
5. Surgery. to perform a surgical procedure.
6. (of a drug) to produce the effect intended.
7. Military. a. to carry on operations in war.
b. to give orders and accomplish military acts, as distinguished from doing
staff work.
8. to carry on transactions in securities, or some commodity, esp.
speculatively or on a large scale.
9. Informal. to use devious means for one's own gain; insinuate oneself;
finagle: a man who knows how to operate with the ladies.
–verb (used with object) 10. to manage or use (a machine, device, etc.): to
operate a switchboard.
11. to put or keep (a factory, industrial system, ranch, etc.) working or in
operation: to operate a coal mine.
12. to bring about, effect, or produce, as by action or the exertion of force
or influence.
If the definition of HOT is >=100 degree C, then we do not need a separate
definition of "not hot."
"Not hot" must be <100 degrees C.
This is not hard stuff.
