While being a contester myself and usually using the cluster during contest
and entering the appropriate category, I still will maintain that the sun

I personally would REALLY support the idea to shut down all the DX clusters
during major contests.
Maybe we should give it a try (let say - at WRTC -2002) ? :-))

Does this mean that a self-spotting is perfectly allowed in VHF/UHF contests?
