Gents, There were a lot of suggestions how to settle the self-spotting problem. Some of them require quite complicated actions to be taken. Though there is a very simple solution. OK, the K1TTT obser

Although I believe Walt is incorrect about the rules (Many contests do explicitly prohibit self-spotting.), his suggestion to post the calls of likely self-spotters is good. The chess community took

Rick's point and Walt's post reference one item that we all have experience with. The 'SHAME' factor is quite effective at helping people to avoid wanting to try to stretch the rules, break em or wha

Folks, Self-spotting is just one more 'difficult to administer' situation, where there is opportunity for deception, and no readily apparent solution. I would recommend keeping it simple. If you are

Another point not yet mentioned with regards to self-spotting is that most contests specifically limit contest activity to certain bands. Self-spotting is considered a solicitation for contacts. For

I heard at least one station asking stations he worked (including me) to "PLEASE SPOT ME" during yesterday's NAQP RTTY. I wonder if he's already been DQ'd. I imagine he didn't know this was a no-no,

That is wrong and they need to be reclassified and or DQed. I hope you informed the NAQP of this. W0MU I imagine he didn't know this was a no-no, but that's a pretty brazen way to request assistance

Actually, the impact is even less than John suggests - the article on the RBN web site is badly outdated - last year in CQWWCW the RBN posted well over 10  million spots in the 48 hours.  From the se
