A goodly number of users out there have skimmer spots turned off and

I have no idea how any manual internet spots are of any value
whatsoever on CW. If you call CQ you are instantly spotted by
every skimmer in the world who detects your signal. You are
essentially “self spotting” if you call CQ.
How much perceived benefit is imagined for any number of internet
spots, real or otherwise as compared to maybe 10,000 real spots
created by the simple task of pressing F1 throughout a contest?

committee had it in hand, with reliable reps in Italy pursuing the
answer. Since then, nothing.
