[CQ-Contest] Self-spotting gotcha

I suspect that many of us filter incoming spots so we will only see
those originating where we can also reasonably expect to hear the
spotted station. For example, I only see spots from states surrounding
mine. Presumably, a self-spot coming from station X will appear on the
cluster network as originating at Station X's location, rather than at a
distant location where Station X might logically be heard.
In a way, this goes right to the principle that self-spotting violates ,
by making the self-spotted station be the spotter, rather than someone
actually receiving its signal.
