[ILQSO] Spotter page

[Jim Funk]

I have NO particular allegiance to a particular spotting site.  The one I usually "inhabit" is indeed W6RK's site, as it is usually monitored by the county hunter bunch.  I know that some use DXSummit.  I wasn't even aware of the one listed below ("cwfun...etc.") until a few weeks ago.  

The only issue I can see is that it simply makes it more complicated to keep track of multiple sites.  The spots get "diluted", and you can spend more time checking all of the sites than you do working stations....

But again, to each his own.  You can check out the W6RK site at:  http://ch.w6rk.com/  One thing to try to remember there is to enter the county as {County), (State) with a space between the comma and the state abbreviation.  It is used by county hunters world-wide, and a lot of others monitor it during QSO parties.

73, Jim N9JF

Yes, feel free to use a spotting network. N9JF will ask you to use the N6RK county hunters site as it is not connected to the outside world and only county hunters hang out there, they appreciate the spots for counties. What I have done is watch the DX spotting network in one window and the N6RK site in another.

Would the use of a spotter page like the one used for the MOQP be acceptable for the ILQP? This would be open to everyone.
