[CQ-Contest] When do we spot? Should it be required?

[Peter Voelpel]

NO!

Stations who can not afford station automation are without chance then.
And the number of "thanks" and "qrz" callers will raise.

I am not sure where the prohibition against asking to be spotted came from.
Perhaps it is time to remove that from the rules?  Or go even one step more
and allow self-spotting.
