[ILQSO] spotting mobiles

[Danny Pease]

Another spot on spotting, please remember to include the county of the
station you are spotting. I see a lot of spots indicating the station is
operating a QSO party, but not the county they are operating from. The W6RK
site is very easy to use and does not interface to the rest of the DX
spotting world but if you do use the normal DX spotting nodes, add ILQP and
county to the comments.

I agree with Jim. Spot. Spot Spot.  I drums up business for the  mobiles,
and even for fixed stations.  But, it also "promotes" the party to  others.

If guys lots of spots, they might be more inclined to get  on...thinking
they missing out on something!
 
Spot Spot Spot!

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...
