When I read John's post, I thought he was talking about spotting i.e.
*observing* what frequency the last guy to work the DX was on so he could
call on exactly the same QRG. I didn't think he meant internet spotting at
all. Strange how two people can read one post and get completely different
ideas of what he was saying ... :)
