Thanks for this interesting info. There has been virtually nothing relayed by
the WRTC Committee to the outside world on what is going to happen there. No
site information and obviously no mention of drastic inclusions like patronage
self-spotting.
Personally, I think that self-spotting on SSB (which in my opinion is seriously
wrong to hijack an on-going contest in this way) when no one else competing can
do so within the rules, is completely out of bounds. To "overlay yourself"
onto a competition for another purpose is one thing - which I have no objection
to. However, to actually then introduce interaction which will PULL Qs from
the normal contest participants in favor of your overlay is unsportsmanlike and
unethical.
This is a serious mistake in my opinion and a very dangerous precedent being
set. I implore the WRTC group to not do this. Even the HQ stations are not
allowed to self-spot in this contest.
