[HCARC] Spotting Networks

[Kerry Sandstrom]

No, Gary, its not like asking which logging program do you use.  I don't 
use spotting nets at all.  Many old-timers still consider the use of 
spotting nets as unethical and unacceptable.  For years the use of 
spotting nets was considered as multi-op whether it was for a contest or 
for DXCC.  If you can't figure out who the station is and his frequency, 
you just don't deserve to work him.  The result of spotting nets is 
virtually every semi-rare DX station has a pileup. The top of the DXCC 
honor roll is packed with numerous stations who have worked all the 
"countries" in the world.  What does the DXCC Honor Roll take?  Money 
for large antennas, big amplifiers, fancy transceivers and access to 
good spotting nets.  Operating skill is no longer a factor.

Just my opinion.
