Actually, you make a very good suggestion, John.

I think it was a year ago in a DX contest where some new N1MM users were 
inadvertently posting their own frequency (instead of the station callsign 
they just worked S&Ping), because some config settings were whacked 
out.  It was very frustrating  to see alleged new  bandmap entries show up 
only to find it was not the DX station there, but the W/K station.

A simple config setting in WL like "Prohibit ANY Packet Posts With User's 
Callsign & Frequency"...or several options (set by default upon installing 
WL to eliminate potential problems).

Tnx & 73...
