[CQ-Contest] Does packet spotting really helps rate that much????

Jose,

> It seems packet spots don't really have an effect on the overall rate, at

Using your data I calculate that the average run rate before a spot was 176
Q/hr and after a spot the average rate was 205 Q/hr.

Your data suggests  that spots increased the average rate by 29 Q/hr or 16%.

 It seems to me that this is a considerable increase that will definitely
increase your final score.
