Hmmm, well I was way bored at work :-) so I decided to do the same. This is
what I found:
DX-SUMMIT Spot Database:
WB0WAO-@ 28388.1 UA3AGW ARRL vy loud 1359 03 Mar 2002
WB0WAO 14239.0 YO4RUI YO0400 11 Mar 2002
To say the least, I was quite suprised! The YO spot I DID make a few days
ago at the stations request, but the UA3 spot I did not make!!!!! I did
work that station at 1357 on 10m on the 3rd during the contest, but I could
not have made the spot - the 'puter in the shack is not online! It runs WFW
3.11 and is not internet "capable". The ONLY way I can get online from home
is with my WebTV (forgive me!) that is in the living room. To check DX
Summit or to make a post, I have to get up and go to the living room, turn
on the WebTV, log on, etc. I have for obvious reasons, not made many spots
at all! Sometimes I do go check DX Summit, make a few notes and then get on
the air, but never during the 'tests. So, the bottom line is that someone
"bootlegged" my call on the cluster as well!
