SV: [RTTY] More on NAQP Spotting

[Stein Roar Brobakken]

Hi
This is abt ham spirit and how to agree to the rules to each contest.

But I would say as the text says here; self spotting is allowed.

Other contest says use of any internet cluster or packet cluster not allowed.

Then you enter a Assisted Class

It's up to each operator how honest you are to the other competitors into the test
