THANK YOU Steve !!!!   

There were a whole bunch of stations who polluted the band map last weekend by spotting while running.  Even after being told repeatedly what was happening, they did nothing about it, and may not even have known how to change their own configuration.   I can see how new or inexperienced ops at a Multi could have unknowingly done this.

Anyway it was a huge waste of time for any Assisted op trying to keep an accurate band map.
