[UK-CONTEST] vhf field day self spotting abuse

[Adrian Rees (MW1LCR)]

Erm

Is this VHF NFD Self spotting abuse, the same abuse an old timer said to me
this morning on 70cms...

I Quote 

"Good luck to you, I used to enjoy getting up on a mountain, with one of
those Japanese hand jobs, 73 !"

Or the net I disturbed one time on 80m during SSB FD last year...

I Quote

"Do you know what Jack, he was 21 when he had his first wood in his hand"
(Reffering to Bowls!)

And with that, I'll get back under my stone...!

Hi Peter 

my point still stands Its not for me to enforce VHFCC rules 

I am merely pointing out there was some dubious dx cluster practices going
on.

Can you tell me how I can prove it was self spotting with 100% certainty? 

that is why I added it was shameless cheerleading at best! 

i think the policing of contest rules have to come from the top otherwise it
may look like sour grapes or someone with an axe to grind. 

The self spotting was an unexpected observation whilst looking through vhf
fd cluster spots this afternoon.

I will send my observations to a member of the vhfcc
