I also disagree because when you get right down

No, it's not functionally equivalent. If you use cluster spots, then you=

If you work a mult you didn't find with your own ears you're using

Truely I could argue that any aid in your station is "assistance" --- but not
OUTSIDE assistance. Dupe sheets and electric pencil sharpeners are "assistance"
at some stations!

If you can harness technology to gain some advantage in the radiosport game, so
long as that technology is in YOUR station and under YOUR control, then more
power to you. Only if that assistance originates at ANOTHER station as the
result of efforts of other radiomen (ie., cluster spots), then your log should
no longer qualify as an SO entry.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I don't know about all you big guns but I need all the help I can get.

But I still do it the old fashioned way. I hunt and find.
