My two cents FWIW.  :-)

Definitely not.  All that is telling you is whether a particular band 
might be open.  To me, that is about the same order as listening to WWV 
during a contest to get the solar numbers, or for setting your clock for 
that matter. It does not tell you where any particular station is and 
doesn't help you to work a particular station.

That's a little trickier. It could be. Is the frequency they are 
operating on visible on the webcam?  In that case I could QSY to that 
frequency and work them. It would have a similar effect to seeing a packet 
spot. It would help me to make a particular QSO.
