First of all, I appreciate this discussion, because it needs clarification.
My opinion:
WAEDC rules allow use of packet clusters without any limitation.
That does not exclude selfspotting. Selfspotting does also mean advantage for
every station being able to read the spots, because they are being given the
opportunity to make a new multiplier. I think sheating starts if you use
another' s callsign without any authorisation. But if contest rules doe not
forbid selfspotting, it should be generally accepted. Confusion may have
caused, that it is still a grey zone. If it is not allowed by rule, is my
friend in DL allowed to spot my call, after i SENT MY qrg via packet, mail or
SMS? I think, the contest committees should do clarification, so that
everybody is aware of the rules.

At first - thanks to US guys for frequent spotting of me this time:) I was
amazed to see so many.
I have this question that I have been thinking about and I guessed we have
discussed it also briefly but was is the correct answer...
If a station does not submit log but still makes a lot of QSOs in contest
does it constitute participation or not?
If not then he is obviously allowed to selfspot as much as he wants to
generate bigger pilups that he is after. And we actually should not point
finger on those spotters who use their own call for spotting before we know
if they send log or not.
What do you think?
