[CQ-Contest] Self-spotting explanation from CQWW blog

[Dale Putnam]

Besides the sun making a huge amount of noise.. or lack of.. how about making a whole lot less noise, an entirely blanket shutdown, during every

major contest of the entire spotting network and RBN... all of it. shut off. no connects.

wow.. think about it.. we would actually have to tune the radio, find the station, decode the station, use our brains, and fingers... enter the callsign AND the exchange.. unless using the auto full feature, that must be noted in the log, and tuning the radio again..  WOW again.. THINK.. it would actually level the playing field for the internet ... and that.. alone.. would make a whole lot less noise on this reflector about cheating with the internet or not.. or may be or sorta, coulda, shoulda, did, didn't.. or ....??

  Pretty much put it back where it should be.


Have a great day,
