[Dxspider-support] R: Re: Self Spotting

[EA7UU Jesus]

     Hello to all. Sorry for my english.

     Rarely, I'm self spotting on 10m band, when I think that band is 
"open", why I am doing wrong?, what happen with those VHF or EME 
operators?. I think that self spotting is not bad if you don't abuse.

IMHO, I think would be better to create a command like i.e.   
unset/selfspotting   to disable their reception instead of vetoing to 
self spotters.

Byeee

The incidents happen far more frequently than the occasional self spotting. I agree self spotting should be frowned upon, but I can also see instances where it is for the good of all concerned. The only real reason to frown on self spotting has little to do with DX, it is a contest related ethics issue.

I personally believe DX is in the eye of the beholder. DX is different for those just starting to count countries and those at the top of the Honor Roll. DX on VHF and UHF is different from HF. Some can't understand spotting a beacon. It is all a matter of perspective.
