[CQ-Contest] Re: [NCCC] NS3T's wild accusation

[Alan Maenchen]

Thanks Dave for bringing this to light.
Its one of the reasons I've un-subscribed to CQ-Contest

If NS3T doesn't want to see all those spots he should turn it off.

So far as "self spotting" goes, he should correlate the spotter to be one of
the operators at said spotted station. Looks like his list is simply a list
of frequently spotted stations .. not self spotted. However, even that may
not "work" since an operator can legally spot a M/M station while he is
operating somewhere else, then go work from that M/M later (or earlier). No
problem for non-ARRL contests.
