<DIV><FONT face="Arial Black">Much has been said about spotting, and the
benefits, or lack thereof in doing so. Mine is not a discussion of either,
but an observation based on the lack of spotting, at least in my case by SECC
members.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Black"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Black">This is not a criticism, but just an observation
that as a contest club, regardless of your mode preference, we could better
support each other, and our club overall, if when we're in the S&P mode,
that we conciously spot SECC members. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Black"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Black">In a review of those stations spotting my station,
I find that my competitors (those opposing me in the same class) spot me more
frequently than fellow club members. </FONT><FONT face="Arial Black">This
is not a solicitation to spot my station, but one to ask SECC members to make a
concerted effort to support each other, and at the same time, supporting our
club. I hope this message is received in the spirit it was
intended.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Black">Good luck to everyone in this new contest
season.</FONT></DIV>
