Hi Dick,
I was in (or close to) the top 10 for spotting in CQWW Phone. I keep
the WriteLog bandmap all the time. If the DX station is not in the
bandmap (i.e. not spotted recently), then generally I'll spot it (and
even if I've already worked it). Sometimes I'll wait and listen. I
found C91WW all by his lonesome on 20m Saturday, worked him and
spotted him. Then I waited for the scrum to start. It was fun to
hear all the big stations calling overtop of each other, when I had
already logged it with 100W.
I have nothing to gain by holding back spots. People who mis-spot on
purpose (i.e. to move the pileup they're calling in over to something
else more rare) have some need which maybe only a therapist could help
with.
