Ed,
Q: Where does it say anything relative to self-spotting for any category?
A: It doesn't.
And as has been said numerous times now, self-spotting is no longer forbidden
for any category.
All rules mentioning that self-spotting was forbidden have been removed
entirely or reworded.
Self-spotting is not equivalent to or entitle one to being assisted.
Everyone is allowed to "Transmit" spots; only multi-ops or unlimited (assisted)
single ops may "Receive" spots.
