  Yeah, just like all those guys calling "CQ"....they are "self-spotting"...
   what were they thinking??? Perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to
   indicate their location in their CQ, including grid locator?

   By definition, the CU2QSO system only uses one rf hop, no digipeating,
   no fancy Internet linking, no under-the-table-networked-across-the-planet
   digital stuff. Really. Its not that big of a deal.
