It is useful, however, to indicate in the spot that the DX station is
listening split at least generically. Example
VE2ABC 10109.4 HC8N QSX UP 0311 21 Nov 2006
this should in principle decrease the likelihood of over zealous
operators descending on the DX station's QRG and calling blindly.
I think this is especially important if the DX station is both rare and
weak as these factors increase the likelihood of rabid callers clobbering
the DX station's QRG along with obligatory stream of "friendly" advice
("UP LID" "QFU", "IDIOT", "YO MAMMA" etc).
