[ILQSO] spotting mobiles

[James Funk]

Don't forget, for those of you so inclined, that you can "spot" mobiles (or fixed stations in rare counties at http://ch.w6rk.com/.  This site is easy to use, doesn't annoy DXers, and will help assure that if a mobile hits a new county that he/she doesn't just sit there calling fruitlessly after the initial contact.  This is especially useful for those "jumps" to 80 during the day and for those mobiles who are unable to find a spot amidst the RTTY on 40 and have to go down around 7025 to be heard....or for those who might take a chance on 15 or 10 meters opening and actually find someone to work!

There is not, nor has there been, any "assisted" category.  Go for it.


Self-spotting is possible here but is discouraged (executive decision) and may fall under "unsportsmanlike conduct" clauses....

Let the games begin...in about 26 hours...
