As one who remembers contesting before computers and before bandmaps,
*ALL* of the things done by computer were game changers. How anyone
can not consider computer logging, bandmaps, SCP, etc. anything other
than *assistance* is beyond me.
The whole point is that the assistance does not come from any other
*person* either directly or via telephone, packet, internet, etc.
