Almost as detrimental as self-spotting, busted spotting is the next big
problem to deal with. Guys who can't copy and can't type should not be passing
their errors on to the rest of the world. So, how about some post-contest
comparisons of spotted calls against the SCP database? For those who have
posted
50 or more spots during the contest, what percent appear to be busted calls?
Listed from highest percent to lowest, that would be a good way to expose the
worst and the best!
********************************
Maybe I've just reached the age of being a cantankerous old codger, but I
think busted spots are good.
To me contesting is not the game of working as many people as possible, but
the game of *finding* and working as many people as possible. Looking at
your spot window is not *finding* people in my mind.
Anyone lazy enough or dumb enough to work a busted spot (or waste time
trying) deserves what they get.
