I also like this self spotting.
BUT..... and there always is a BUT isn't there? I like the three QSO's
rule, BUT. there needs to also be a max per hour?
Then gain here we are, back to the same problem, UG!
I can just see someone spotting themself after every q.

There should be a rule allowing the software to automatically submit a self
spot after you have logged perhaps three QSOs on the same frequency - same rule
for everyone. After all, when you call CQ on CW you are, in effect, self
spotting. There is a huge advantage in being spotted and, on SSB, there is a
huge difference in the number of spots for different stations giving advantage
to those who are spotted frequently and quickly after a frequency change. 73...

On CW, we already have the equivalent of self spotting, thanks to CW Skimmer
and the RBN. It's virtually impossible to NOT be spotted. CW Skimmer/RBN is the
great equalizer - you no longer have to depend on a network of friends to spot
you.
We wouldn't be having this discussion if there was a SSB Skimmer. Right now, we have a
system where "those with the right friends" have an advantage. Why not simply
allow self spotting on SSB ?

Having myself met with unfair and unjustified treatment at the hands of

3V8SS it seems acknowledges cheer-leading by his fellow Tunisians KG5OUE
and F4HJD but claims not to have encouraged it. I am inclined to believe
him, given some of my own friends have spotted me during contests and I
have NEVER, that is NOT EVER, asked anyone to do so.
That said, HB9EOU appears to be rather more than a random contact with
Switzerland. Last year HB9EOU operated in the IOTA contest from 3V8SM on
Djerba Island AF-083 along with F4HJD. Ash (3V8SS) + F4HJD + 3V8CB had
activated 3V8SM from Djerba Island a couple of months earlier.
The recording of the contact with HB9EOU seems odd, though the events not
entirely inexplicable but small circles in which the same calls crop up
repetitively raise questions. Perhaps it's all an extraordinary
coincidence but there is enough doubt for me to wonder whether my empathy
might have been misplaced.

After reading your post and based on your response to the committee, I would
conclude that Bob, W5OV; Doug, KR2Q; Scott, W4PA are nitpickers with an
agenda.
If anything valid is further introduced to support the committee's decision,
then I would revise my opinion. As it stands, I believe you were unfairly
DQd.

Mike, Ria and all,
I put online the CC accusations (their native emails) and my responses:
http://www.kf5eyy.info/3V8SS_WWSSB16_DQ.htm
I think that allows everyone to read from both sides. Now it's up to you to
comment!
