[VHFcontesting] Self-spotting

[Joel Harrison]

Hi Rick & gang,

There was a good group on EME during the contest. In the past it has
simply been trying to find a needle in a haystack which was quite
frustrating. This weekend we were able to post where we were calling CQ on
the N0UK JT65 page and it was refreshing. Everyone played by the rules and
made no comments about QSO information and just knowing where everyone was
operating generated quite a bit more activity and it was great.

Bottom line from here - Loved it, very refreshing and greatly help in
generating activity....exactly what it was supposed to do.
