If you are going to practice a contest that uses spots then you might as
well use spots during the practice. You have to learn how to best use spots
just like you have to learn when you should run and when you should s&p, so
having the spots makes it more realistic.

> Contesting has new achieved a new low. The NCCC contest 'PRACTICE' now

> The thing which makes it even more ludicrous is the spots are on 80m CW. I
