I think I detect the start of a culture change on the DX cluster. You
may not care about it, or - more likely - you'll deplore it, but I
think it's happening anyway, and probably can't be reversed.
It's self-spotting. In most contests it's illegal, but not at other
times, and for many less exp
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
I think it's fine if you're rare DX and not getting any responses...
However, I've come to think no one should ever spot someone that
already has a pileup. Obviously self spotters are too busy at that
point to spot...
Pipe dream, of course. Never gonna happen because people like to brag
to the
Would anyone with user experience with Kenwood TS-850 or TS-570 please

Maybe it's just me, but I always liked to put my headset on and tune,
tune, tune.
I'll look at the cluster to get an idea how the bands are, but I
always loved to just... tune around. Especially on 17!

This is not true.
It's the same as saying "if I don't cheat, than it's HARD!"

During non-contests, I don't see anything wrong with someone saying --
ONCE -- "here I am!"
Every 10 minutes, that's excessive.
If the band is crowded, and the station isn't that rare (me, for example),
it's probably not a wise idea anyway. But if the band isn't crowded, how
else can people know
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
I spotted some stations when running in the CQWW-SSB last weekend in error. The
logging program (N1MM) was set to spot all S&P Qs but I had neglected to tell
N1MM I was running. I don't believe most contesters do this intentionally as a
"self-spot".
