[CQ-Contest] ARRL RTTY

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

It's right in the rules Bob, but it's moot.  As soon as you issue a CW or
RTTY CQ, you've effectively self-spotted.

Skimmers Worldwide broadcast what frequency you're on to the RBN (assuming
the band is not dead) and any cluster which carries RBN spots (a lot? most?)
will regurgitate that info.

Good Morning All

 

            I have read the rules a couple times about RTTY Roundup but
still

 

            not sure about one thing.  Self Spotting is not allowed in most
contest,

 

            but I am thinking it might be in RU ?   Is my thinking wrong ?
