If we allow self-spotting, it's a very short step to allowing stations to exchange information or confirm contacts via the spotting network (this seems to happen sometimes in the VHF+ weak signal wor

Well - I think there is still some unfairness here... If I am LOUD, I can call CQ and likely get spotted fairly quickly. I don't have to self spot. If I am weak - it might take me forever to get spot

What you're saying above, Tree, is that dependence on "the spot" has become so ubiquitous that the mainstream contester is no longer likely to search out that "stray mult in the wilderness" unless h
