Ah, but that does not prohibit use of spotting networks, which are
specifically allowed by:
4. Single Operator Assisted (All Band or
Single Band): ... QSO alerting assistance is
allowed (this includes, but is not limited to,
packet, local or remote Skimmer and/or
Skimmer-like technology, Internet). ...
And does that not rely on receivers beyond the 500m circle? So, if I help a
friend set up a receiving system and they put spots into a packet spotting
network is that not legal? If I replace that friend with a skimmer, what is
different? Besides that the skimmer doesn't have to sleep or take bathroom
breaks, that is.
