I agree with John's (KK9A) commentary but not necessarily that it needs a
new category. Just add it to the assisted category. Leave the unassisted
category as is. Assisted is an evolving slippery slope anyway and more of
these things will emerge - no doubt. Assisted is really "technology and
internet assisted" so however that manifests itself, so be it.
The contest sponsors are typically resistant to adding new categories and I
don't blame them. Each add has low power, high power, QRP versions and
plaques and certificates and complication of reporting.
Just accept assisted is assisted and like we accepted skimmer and RBN into
the old definition of "packet cluster spots" so will this advancement.
