Pete, it wasn't until Sunday morning in SS that I began keeping a log of
the cluster traffic to look just for self spots. I see 95 self-spots by 22
SS participants in the last 11.5 hours of SS SSB, which amounts to less
than 9 per hour.

I'm honestly surprised it's so low. Elsewhere in the thread I've already
shown how W5OV of the ARRL corrected my misreading of the text of the
actual SS rules, so maybe the language wasn't so clear to others either.
I'm gonna have to get some law dictionaries or something.

Self spots in the last 11.5 hours are below.
