What is the point of spotting something to me that is already clearly visible on my
computer screen (and if it isn’t visible, of what value is a spot)?
Since E-skip is so important during the summer months on 6M, I find the
display of 6M spots on dxmaps.com to be extremely useful, and I send
them a few bucks each year. I think that these spots come from the
cluster network.
Sometimes that isn't clearly visible on my FT8 screen. This is often how
I've been aware of openings in the opposite direction of where my beam
is pointed. A month or so ago, it's how I found two JA openings a few
days apart, while I was working east and on the other TX cycle.
