I guess that can happen one of two ways,
Yes N1MM+ BUT..... not in ESM mode,  In ESM it will change to Run automatically.

OR,

People not thinking all the way through Thinking when they see the Spot all S&P contacts and thng Great I'll help, but not understand totally how it works, if they do not have a radio that is computer controlled, all will also be on the same freq.

Now if we could just get people to stop using S&P mode in N1MM when they're
actually running, that would be great.  You can always tell it's happening
when you see 25 juicy new ones suddenly pile up on the same spot on the
bandmap.

It is not self-spotting if you are spotting another station - Maybe us
down under contesters need to be smarter and spot all our S&P QSOs - it is
a feature of N1MM

As you may know we have all sorts of issues in this part of the world with
getting people to turn their beams in a contest.

So if I come across a station calling CQ who clearly cannot hear me, is it
OK to spot him saying ZL can hear you? Would it make a difference if, being
in a multi-op, the spot comes from my personal callsign and not the
multi-op callsign?

My feeling is if the spot doesn't come from the station callsign and
doesn't mention the station callsign,it can't be considered self spotting
as the DX station won't know the callsign which wants to work him (although
he might assume it is the one spotting him).

Thoughts?
