It's more than just sometimes true on 40 meters, it is the modus
operandi on that band during an SSB DX contest. Most (if not all)
stations outside of IARU region 2 are not permitted to operate
above 7100KHz and of course we can not operate SSB below 7150. So
indeed, we want the option to check the spot and see if the
station is announcing a QSX frequency that the spotter failed to
mention.
