[CQ-Contest] [NCCC] SS Packet DANGER, DANGER, Will Robinson!!!

[Blake M]

The whole spotting (or whatever the term should be) mess could be fixed real 
quick if self spotting were simply legalized for all of the unlimited 
participants.

Why should we limit their kluster usage just S&Peeing?  Crank up that T1 
connection and enjoy a good run too....  If packet really is a fun as I hear 
it is, this idea should make it rip-roaring barrell of monkeys.

73,
Blake, N4GI
