My two cents FWIW. :-)

Definitely not. All that is telling you is whether a particular band
might be open. To me, that is about the same order as listening to WWV
during a contest to get the solar numbers, or for setting your clock for
that matter. It does not tell you where any particular station is and
doesn't help you to work a particular station.

That's a little trickier. It could be. Is the frequency they are
operating on visible on the webcam? In that case I could QSY to that
frequency and work them. It would have a similar effect to seeing a packet
spot. It would help me to make a particular QSO.
