[DX-CHAT] DX self spotting
If ur DX with a dipole and 100w, you either self spot or call ur lungs out with no answers. The fault, again Dear Brutus, is not with a DX who self-spots but with lazy DX chasers who rely solely on clusters and never tune around. As 9N7UD, more often than not, with a dipole and 100w, I would finally get tired of calling CQ to no (or vy few) answers and go sight seeing. I lacked the facilities to self spot. When I was spotted by someone else, then the herd arrived otherwise, lonely. In a few minutes, I am going to call CQ on whatever band appears open with no self spot, and will report later what happened. de HS0ZCW 73, Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ Boo!

It's the same as saying if I don't cheat, than it's HARD! Why do you associate self-spotting with cheating (not in a contest setting)? Who really cares if someone self-spots? Who is it harming? What ever happened to the maxim, Live and let live.? If you don't like it, then use a program like CC User from VE7CC to filter out stations who you do not choose to see spots from. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/Ø, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ad1c.us Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org

Re: [DX-CHAT] DX self spotting
How about a major contest station that spots the station they work. They are spotting others but in reality they are self spotting because they are in a run mode. Why don't we just automatically spot the station we work? Contest sponsor can record the spots and create the score in real time and show positions by appropriate entities. Such a system would put us in the front line of technology and be a leader as oppose to be conservative and be a follower, eventually.. Just my 2c worth. 73, Lou KE1F Charles Harpole wrote: If ur DX with a dipole and 100w, you either self spot or call ur lungs out with no answers.

Re: [DX-CHAT] DX self spotting
I spotted some stations when running in the CQWW-SSB last weekend in error. The logging program (N1MM) was set to spot all SP Qs but I had neglected to tell N1MM I was running. I don't believe most contesters do this intentionally as a self-spot.
