According to the CQ 160 CW rules on the Web
(<http://www.cq160.com/rules.htm>),
 there IS a single op assisted class in this contest. It was added in 
2009, and appears in the results listings since then.
Rules III.:
 (D) Single Operator Assisted: HIGH POWER ONLY. Same as (A) with the 
following exception: The use of passive spotting IS allowed. (See 
definition of passive spotting functions below.)
Passive Spotting is defined as (but not limited to):
 DX spotting nets or QSO alerting assistance of any kind. Over-the-air 
nets or stations that provide frequency and station information.
Any device or person that provides frequency and callsign information of 
any station during the contest period. This includes band skimmers or 
similar devices. Passive spotting does NOT include band scopes, SDR 
receivers, or the like, which provide no information about the signal 
other than its presence, which is allowed in all categories.

If you are referring to the CQ 160 CW contest this weekend, there is NO single 
op assisted.
The categories are single op OR multi-op. If you use any assistance you are a 
multi-op.
