[CQ-Contest] dodgy spotting

It can be detrimental.  I am often tempted to do self-spotting, but to 
deliberately
mis-spot myself in hopes it reduces the mess these spots-gone-ballistic can
cause.  I often am forced to abandon a run when things get messy like that.

I sensed the band was good, but so few called - even if I were serious in
JIDX HF CW this year, I'll happily work non-JAs when a JA isn't calling & even
reply to the pesky QSLs such contacts inevitably produce.  JIDX is quickly
becoming no fun due to lack of activity & I'm sorry to say I spent most of the
weekend up on the roof enjoying the sun as a result.
