Why not just spot the station on the public cluster?

You said previously that you didn't think it would be helpful to the 
wider audience. I'm in IO73 and if I see someone in JO02 spotted by 
someone also in JO02 its still useful to me. If I beam at J002 to work 
the other station you never know you might also hear me so its to your 
advantage as well.

So far all I can see in your suggestion is that you want to keep the 
info to within your team for your own benefit, whilst I can understand 
that reason, its not better for the contest in general.

Would you think it reasonable and ethical to have a team wide Skype 
conference open whilst the contest was on for swapping information?
