[Dxspider-support] CQWW Self Spotting - spoofing

[Michael Walker]

Hi Andy

I think I missed the best 10M time as I was taking a nap.  :)  However, I
was going to comment to one of your operators that the M6T is about one of
the best contest calls out there.  It rolls off the tongue and is nice and
short.  160M was more noisier than usual this weekend.

BTW, I am watching the CQWW group as well and they are concerned and aware
of the problem.

73, Mike va3mw
