N1MM allows spotting while in S&P mode. This works great until you
forget to switch over and then you end up spotting all the people you
are working on your run frequency. I did this by accident a couple of
times and It was brought to my attention. This issue is do you trust the
person that says I am just sending spots to really be sending spots. At
this stage there are so many ways to receive spots anonymously that it
becomes impossible to know for certain if a station is really "clean".
You do the best you can and live with results and try to get better with
tools to identify those breaking the rules.

And I don't know if N1MM or the other Windows contest loggers offers
it, but CT offered the ability to send spots without receiving them.

Just because you have internet connectivity does not mean you are
using it to receive spots. There are commands on every DX cluster for
disabling receipt of spots. For example, on an AR-node,
"set/dx/output off". This way, you can send self-spots (or any spots)
without receiving spots.

Don't get me wrong, I'm in favor of keeping the single-op category,

one self-spot in single-op without the Internet?
That was my point.

Hi Rich:
I do not agree that forcing everyone who wants to compete onto the
internet ("nail in the coffin for the single operator categories")
is the right answer - I think we should retain single-operator
categories.
Clearly, the assisted and multi-operator categories will continue to
move more and more on to the internet (self-spotting, social media,
etc.). There should continue to be single operator categories for
the luddites like me who want the option to play on the radio - and
these categories should prohibit self-spotting.
There may be cheating that cannot be detected, similar to the
situation with power cheating and remote receivers, but that is not
a sufficient reason to eliminate categories. Otherwise, we end up
with a single category: "anything goes".
