I operated as W1FJ. Upon my request, K1TTT gave me the
spots generating by the W1FJ station.
I spotted 8 DX stations on 7038 QSX 7154 between Mar
4/0753-0807z... and three at 0920z.
This occurred because I configured MM software to
"automagically spot S&P QSOs". It seemed a good idea at the
time.
But, due to some confusion about how MM was configured for
split operations on 40m, MM thought that I was operating S&P
when, in fact, I was running... and so generated these spots
on my TX/RX frequency.
Another station tipped us off that I was generating these
spots, which was the first indication of the problem. I
immediately turned off the auto-spot option on every band.
So, Mal, I guess I'm saying "ooooops", as you put it. It
was a mistake -- just like the mistake I made when I
reversed by VFOs and transmitted below 7100 kHz. I'm sorry
for making these mistakes... and I am glad that someone else
pointed them out quickly.
I am not claiming single-op assisted. We were multi-multi.
