[UK-CONTEST] vhf field day self spotting abuse

< The skills and knowledge of some of the VHF operators (even at big-gun 
contest stations) are woeful. The operator at one well-known Essex 
contest group was sure that I was in JO93 and took a lot of convincing 
that this was, to say the least, unlikely given that he had my callsign 
correct... >

Well known group or not, beginners are needed on the team as well as
seasoned operators. Otherwise the group will inevitably meet it's demise in
due course.

Unwittingly you may also be taking a pop at respected HF operators, being
pressed into service in unfamiliar territory.
