Any coments on self-spotting in U. S. Counties QSO Party 2012? W3DYA 05/15/12

I don't see this being an issue either way WØMU 05/16/12

Self spotting was in last year's rules; I didn't make it up. W3DYA 05/16/12

You are correct (of course) - self spotting is allowed in the current rules... KE3VV 05/16/12

Unless it is against the QSO Party rules approved by MARAC Board, it is OK KE3VV 05/15/12

Checked again - it is against the MARAC Contest Rules -- KE3VV 05/16/12

My bad - I was looking at an older set of rules. - Self-Spotting is OK, and the rules on the MARAC web site are correct and up-to-date KE3VV 05/16/12

I think it is fine WØMU 05/15/12

Hi Mike: W3DYA 05/15/12

correction WB2ABD 05/16/12

Then..... WØMU 05/15/12

I get the feeling there are no serious objections to self spotting. W3DYA 05/15/12

It should be: Overall we're activating counties..." W3DYA 05/15/12

RST reports? W8FNW 05/15/12

Well, I was going to use signal report... W3DYA 05/15/12
