[SCCC] self spotting

[Paul Kube]

Following up on what Drew said, it's pretty clear the self-spotting rule will affect CW contesting approximately not at all. For phone, it may level the field between big guns and the rest of us a bit. But overall this is much less of a big deal than check partials, call history files, exchange prefills, dupe checking, and other logging program aids that still count as operating unassisted.

It is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.

Makes me think of SOTA activating.  HF CW QRP is so easy, it feels
like cheating.  I call CQ SOTA twice and a pileup magically appears.
Thanks to the RBN.  Even if I left the tuner in tune mode (6 dB less
to the antenna).  HF SSB QRP, well, I'm too scared to try.  No RBN to
magically create a pileup then.
