Who was doing the spotting using your other callsign, then? If you -
then it's self-spotting. If someone else - it's intentional
cheerleading, intending to distract the casual viewer from the
intensity thereof. Or is there some other explanation? Does your
father habitually borrow your callsign to use on the DX Cluster?
