I wonder if some of these spots that are way off are from people that
have their loggers set up to spot all S&P contacts, and they when they
make a contact are way off the station being worked frequency, so the
resulting spot is also way off?

My belief is that the worst thing a caller can do in a contest is call
the other station zero beat with him. Not far away, but a reasonable
distance either side of zero beat within a normal passband, depending
on the contest participation. The exception, of course, would be if
there were only one caller. Too often a spot is the zero beat
frequency, so the caller clicks on that frequency and calls the DX,
which creates chaos in a contest. The best way to make the contact in
a contest is to call _off_ zero beat, which helps other callers hear
the DX. It's hard for the DX when he can tell the callers are QRMing
each other and can't hear him. Jim
