[WIQPmail] Want more WIQP Mobiles?

[Dave White]

A major problem for mobiles, especially SSB mobiles, in the WI QSO Party is
the rule that prohibits self spotting.  The CW mode mobiles have automatic
default spotting via the Reverse Beacon Network (RBN), but there is no
similar mechanism for SSB mode.  We drive over to Minnesota and operate
mobile SSB mode (as "K0M") for their QSO party and have a blast activating
counties.  Because they allow self spotting SSB mode, mobile is very
productive there.  Without self spotting, SSB mode mobile is a frustrating
waste of time.  Most of us don't care about winning, so we can live with
the archaic x2 "CW" scoring advantage, but we can't be productive and have
fun as an SSB mode mobile without self spotting.  I'll guarantee that there
will be more Wisconsin mobiles activating rare counties if you abolish the
rule prohibiting self.
