<div><br>
</div>
<div>Without specific verbiage in the rules one can guess what the
answer is based on other MiQP rules... since MiQP doesn't allow
single-ops to use packet it seems that it would be out for
mobile-solo. Since mobile also has multi-op, it seems that
mobile multi-ops could use packet. However even with packet
use, it is not permitted to self-spot.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The question becomes is ARPS seen as self-spotting?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If a comment in ARPS says freq/band-mode then it would be
easy to see it as same as self-spotting on packet. Without this
freq/band-mode info, it is an indication of location and based
on time of day we basically know what band a mobile in Mi is
likely going to be on.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Seems we need the MiQP committee to weigh in on the official
answer.</div>
