[Dxspider-support] Suspect cq wpx spots?

[Iain Philipps]

Well … we are not the “Spot Police”; If someone wants to break the rules of a contest and risk disqualification that would be their problem, not mine.

The maximum speed limit anywhere where I am currently living is 112kph. The maximum speed of my car (manufacturer specifications) is 210kph. Should they stop making that car just because I might use it at that speed?

Please notice that this is neither a vote for or against allowing self-spotting; that will be whatever that will be.

Not just a little suspicious.

 

Self spotting is explicitly forbidden in the CQ and WPX contests and can lead to disqualification.

Probably someone just practising cheerleading.  Ignore me.

This is a bit dodgy, isn’t it especially as the contest hasn’t started yet.  5B4AOW and P3AA are both showing on qrz as being owned by RW3RN and it’s a Cyprus IP address.
