[CQ-Contest] Spoofed Self spots

[Dave K2XR]

GM contesters.  Hope you all are resting well.

In the FRC chat room we have been discussing the abundance of apparent 
self spots during the contest.  Many of our participants who run had 
their callsigns spoofed and spots of themselves made. It seems to have 
happened to enough of us that the question was posed...   'Was it just 
FRC that was targeted, or was it all contesters? "

Looking on this reflector as well as the 3830 reflector, it didn't take 
long to see that it wasn't just FRC.

Curious to know who else out there was targeted.  The were about 10 
cases in the chat room I was in this AM, and suspect it might have been 
a huge problem.

Is there a way for the sysops to track down the origin ?     I would 
think so, but am not positive.

It would be great to nail the perpetrator, and some of us are demanding 
it if it is all possible.  Kind of ruins everything for some.
