It is not self-spotting if you are spotting another station - Maybe us down 
under contesters need to be smarter and spot all our S&P QSOs - it is a feature 
of N1MM

As you may know we have all sorts of issues in this part of the world with 
getting people to turn their beams in a contest.

So if I come across a station calling CQ who clearly cannot hear me, is it OK 
to spot him saying ZL can hear you? Would it make a difference if, being in a 
multi-op, the spot comes from my personal callsign and not the multi-op 
callsign?

My feeling is if the spot doesn't come from the station callsign and doesn't 
mention the station callsign,it can't be considered self spotting as the DX 
station won't know the callsign which wants to work him (although he might 
assume it is the one spotting him).

Thoughts?
