[SECC] Self Spotting

[Fred Dennin]

Rick,

While everyone is entitled to their opinion, I personally think it is a
stretch to consider that as self spotting.  You simply gave a range of
frequencies suggested by GQP organizers and promoted the contest.  I find it
aggravating that there are those in our fraternity spending more time
focused on negativity and resentment, more so than promoting the hobby.
They are a distraction to the good eminating from our hobby and I highly
recommend that you ignore the claim of self spotting and submit the log.

My 2 cents.

It has been brought to my attention that I posted a facebook posting stating
that the GQP was on the air and I listed the suggested GQP frequencies, and
I mentioned that the NQ4I station would be on using the K4HYB call sign all
done 30 minutes into the contest. So I am strongly considering taking the
K4HYB log and not submitting it for the GQP competition.  I did what I did
to publicise the GQP and hopefully get some more participation. It obviously
has offended one member of SECC and not taken in the context it was meant. I
apologize to all the hard working members of the K4HYB team. I read the
posting from Norm WA4ZXV and it said that use of spotting networks was
encouraged...I took that to include spotting ones station.  No where in my
facebook posting did I specifically state any frequency that K4HYB was using
at the time. Only the suggested GQP spots to look for Ga stations.
