[Moon-net] An important step forward!

[Peter Voelpel]

Self spotting DURING a contest is not the same as anouncing activity and
possible tx frquency BEFORE a contest.
Self spotting is prohibited in all HF contest rules.
Use of clusters then is "assisted" category if allowed at all in a
particular contest

As to the issue of self-spotting on the clusters,  it's the same as a big
EME station anouncing before the contest that he will be  active on his
"usual frequency."  If people know where to look, it often is  the
difference between possible and not possible, especially with signals that
are not audible in the first place; they ARE still decodable if you have
some  idea where to look.
