[Dxspider-support] CQWW Self Spotting - spoofing

[Michael Walker]

Hi All

Apparently, someone has been having fun in the cluster network by faking
self spots.

In the 2 with my callsign on them, I was running unassisted in this
contest.    These are not automated search and pounce spots that N1MM can
produce.

The concern is that self spotting will get you tossed out of a contest and
someone is having fun spoofing these.

Others are reporting similar on the CQCW reflector.

I thought I would share part of what is being discovered.
