I've been trying to remember where and why the whole packet/internet spotting started during contests. I seem to recall that it originated with the large contest clubs that had big MM stations. The b

Yuri - I also dislike the DX Cluster in general, and its effects on contesting, in particular. However, I disagree with your conclusion that we should allow use of packet spots for all categories in

One of the reasons I like the SS exchange with the callsign embedded in with the other information is that when S&P'ing it gives me the change to do a dupe check without waiting for the exchange to e

I vote yes. Of course, this procedure is SOP in the Sprint contests and really does give you confidence that the other guy is actually working you and not someone inside your skip zone. Good idea. 73
