Spot anything you can hear. I try not to spot stuff that?s already in the
bandmap, unless its only been spotted from outside the states so far...
usually at band opening times. If you make a lot of spots and you happen to
spot your buddies a bit then no body will complain... the ones that I wonder
about are the guys that spot nothing but a station where their friends are
operating, that to me sounds like soliciting spots, and in some cases could
be self spotting by proxy.
