<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hmmm... whats's the big deal mwith self spotting
then?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Okay, in some contests its against the rules - in
which case report the person (with evidence) to the contest
adjudicator.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At other times, like working meter scatter, self
spotting is VERY USEFUL in letting people know who's where.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Darren... would you like me to fit one of my
company's GPS based tracking boxes to your car... I'm sure I could get it to
report you directly to the Police each time you went over the speed limit and
generate a "you silly git you need to drive slower or get a smaller engine"
message along with having you sent three points :o)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><PRE>2) "Ground" incoming remote self-spots:
- Backup the file /spider/perl/DXProt.pm
- Edit this file
- Look for the line:
# bash down the list of bands until a valid one is reached
- Just BEFORE this line, copy/paste the 4 lines below:
<X-TAB> </X-TAB>if (($_[2]
=~ $_[6]) || ($_[6] =~ $_[2])) {
<X-TAB> </X-TAB><X-TAB> </X-TAB>dbg("PC11:
self: $_[6] attempted to spot $_[2]");
<X-TAB> </X-TAB><X-TAB> </X-TAB>return;
<X-TAB> </X-TAB>}
