[RTTY] Cluster abuse!

[pcooper]

Hi all,

Just a quick one before I post my thoughts on WPX.

We had a previous thread going relating to self-spotting, but this weekend, I saw a different variation on this theme!

I was monitoring the cluster, and kept seeing my own call being spotted on a different band to where I was operating.

I checked a couple of these dubious spots, and saw the "spotter" calling CQ on that frequency!

OK, this in itself is not necessarily a problem in itself, but it caused me a great deal of confusion on 40m yesterday afternoon, when I was running a goodly pile, and then noticed a spot for my call way down the band.
I then had lots of folk querying my call, and generally giving me grief!

My rate went down from around 90+ right down to 35, which annoyed me immensely.

73 all
