I wont give the groups call (but they know who they are).The majority of the self spots only have cq test or other meaningless content. Its interesting to note that the callsigns used to log on to the cluster; only spot on the cluster when this particular group are in a test.

This does not apply, course, to the 23cm band where the use of the cluster 
and KST IS permitted. I assume you were not mistaking 23cm spots and the 
like for the lower bands.

NOT for any other bands, this weekend)
