See Dave's # 10 below. This was the horrible problem we had at J7OJ over
the past two years in ARRL DX CW. We were incorrectly spotted as J70J and
even
J70OJ. The net result of these prolific incorrect spots in 2007 was over
500 dupes in our contest log when all the dust settled. The time it took for
us to work 500 dupes definitely took away from our ability to work legitimate
callers. It might have even cost us a win!
I say, nix the spots altogether.
73, George, K5KG / J7OJ

10. busted spots (intentional or otherwise) can result in loss of rate for
the spotted station as callers who are dupes show up and call without
verifying the callsign.
