[ILQSO] Spotting portable/mobile stations

[Hank Greeb]

Next year it might help to encourage more spotting of the portable and 
mobile stations.  W6RK's county spotting site seems to be very easy to 
work, and is web based so one doesn't need telnet.  I forgot about it, 
and was using W9ZRX - found several spots with that, but telnet is a bit 
more spartan than W6RK's site.  How can we get more of the fixed 
stations to do spotting of the folks in the field?

I should have stuck around for the last hour.  NY4N showed up on 80 
metres, and there were several others on 80 which I could have worked.  
But, a long dry spell on both 80 and 75 metres made it seem not to 
fruitful......

I did find that SSB was a great addition - several times I had so many 
Q's from multiple county line stations that I had to write everything 
down by hand and then catch up later with the logging!  Perhaps next 
year I'll have a better antenna and/or propagation will be better (it 
can hardly get worse on 40 and 20) and I won't get discouraged!
