Hi Phil,

Simple answer, watch the cluster, it's a way around self-spotting. If the offending station
spots you then parks just above.......well, it's just wrong. Even better is when they spot you
a bit higher than actual then it's painfully obvious.

Anyone else have problems with 40m PSK ops?  One parked right on J39BS and I'm pretty sure it
was intentional, some were pretty high in the band too. It wasn't that crowded and I actually watched 
an RTTY station slide in between 2 CW signals with plenty of separation then a PSK station moved
right on top of the RTTY.....the panadapter on the Flex radio shows all sorts of interesting things.
