<div dir="auto">So is there also an equivalent <br />
<br />
set/var $Spot::respottime = 180<br />
<br />
As well?<br />
<br />
I wonder, is there a full list of available variables for dxspider anywhere along with a description of what they all do?<br />

<div dir="auto">Now that self spotting is allowed for a trial period in all RSGB HF contests, I’ve been asked about self-spotting and submitting duplicate spots by a couple of my users.<br />
<br />
Some time ago I set minselfspotqrg to 0 to allow self spotting but what is the situation regarding duplicates because I understand some logging software can now self spot every few minutes. I don’t necessarily agree with this but it’s going to happen more and more.<br />
<br />
What’s the period during which the cluster will reject a self spot as a dupe please and is there a variable that can be tweaked to adjust it?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
