[CQ-Contest] self spotting

[Charles Harpole]

1.  I will self spot anytime off a contest.  See why.
2.  If I am not spotted during a contest, I will get bored and lay off for
hours;  no help if you need me as a mult.  See why.

Today there is no known RBN skimmer operating from JA to ZL and from HI to
5B.  Now that is a very large hole to live in... without self spotting...
and I don't want to move anywhere else.  I know KH7XS did move back to K4,
hi Bill.

In the latest IARU contest, HS0ZIA super station was spotted 22 times in
the 24 hours.  That sounds like a small number considering our rare-ity,
yes or no?
I really do not understand the onus of self spotting even during a contest,
especially if it is dead sure that is the only way you will be noticed by
yagi pointed away and fat runs going on between USA and EU.

Don't hate me because I am beautiful or because I self spot.  (I sure hope
u know that old Pantene shampoo commercial).  73
