>> Some contesters don't like being spotted, because the

>> For most of us, being spotted confers a huge advantage, but 
>> we're not allowed to spot ourselves and we can't ask anyone 
>> else to do it - it's entirely at the whim of others.
>>
>> To help those kind people to know when it's appropriate to 
>> spot, I propose the Q-Code QSM as an alternative to QSL or 
>> Roger or Thanks. It does not mean "Please Spot Me", because 
>> that would be against the rules - written or unwritten. It 
>> means "I have no objection to being spotted".
>>
>> No QSM heard, don't spot - otherwise it's your choice.
