[CQ-Contest] Self spotting

[Chris Tate - N6WM]

I have thought about the use of call sign prefixes from other countries to
defeat others filters while self spotting and feel this is a dishonest
loophole that should be closed.  Crafty?  No I don’t think so, and opens up
an entire Pandora’s box of what can be manipulated in the cluster
networks.  And it’s essentially a false statement and should result in a
DQ. This self spotting experiment will get out of hand very quick if this
is allowed to continue.  A simple rule addition stating that you must use
Your operating call to self spot (without false prefix) will solve this
micro issue, but there are other nefarious things possible with this self
spotting rule and the existing cluster network.  honestly am a little
disappointed with the usually highly respected contesters that chose to
exploit this loophole to the detriment of their competitors.
