Let me stretch it some more.

I am waiting for that elusive new one and I am willing to stop my
contesting effort for as long as it takes to work one of the last DXCC
entities I need which is likely to show up on one of the WARC because
the bands where the contest is allowed are completely clogged up.

To achieve that I stay connected to the local cluster and set up a
filter to pass only the spots on the WARC bands.

It is in fact a technology that provides callsigns and frequencies.

The contest rule calls it "QSO alerting assistance" and I read it as
something that alerts you of a possible QSO that you can log providing
you the callsign and the frequency.

Can I put in my contest log a QSO made on, say, the 17m band?

No, so the "assistance" I get from the cluster spots is not "alerting"
me of a QSO I could put in my contest log.

I think the same goes for my own callsign.
