Jeff --
I have a somewhat DX type question and perhaps you 
can help.  It concerns the website "DXWATCH.COM."  
Have you ever used it?  If so, how does a person enter a 
DX station into the list?

The reason I ask is, it seems that every FT-8 contact I 
make (and have made for some days or weeks) enters 
itself into the DXWATCH.COM list and I have no idea 
why.  I've never checked anything, anywhere, to ask for 
my contact to be added.  Many are actually non-DX 
contacts which should NOT be going there.  I've gotten 
several nasty emails from people asking me if I know what 
DX means but I haven't a clue how it appears on that site 
nor how to eliminate it.

I'm using JTDX and I log automatically to my logging 
program, Logger32.  I thought it might be the setting under 
the "Reporting" tab/"Enable PSK Reporter Spotting" or 
"Enable DXSummit Spotting" but both of those boxes are 
NOT ticked.

I have searched through the JTDX documentation and the 
Logger32 Helpfile plus I've nearly ruined my eyesight 
trying to find some setup in the programs that might cause 
this.  No luck.  I've even studied the DXWATCH.COM site 
to see if there is some place to tell it to not accept any 
entries from me.  No luck there, either.

I don't think the Corona Virus has gotten to me and dulled 
my senses (I've been able to do that all on my own).  Do 
you have any ideas what might cause the 
DXWATCH.COM website to illegally snatch my 
information from mid-air?
