I personally think Self Spotting is the end of contesting as we know it and
should NEVER be allowed.

At least with the RBN, a radio does have to pick you up to put it on the
net.
My "friend" sets up a receiver and CW Skimmer near my station. It
absolutely will spot me and put the spots on the RBN. You can argue this
is self spotting, but it is perfectly allowable under the rules. I bet
it is already happening.
