I spotted some stations when running in the CQWW-SSB last weekend in error. The logging program (N1MM) was set to spot all S&P Qs but I had neglected to tell N1MM I was running. I don't believe most contesters do this intentionally as a "self-spot".

They are spotting others but in reality they are self spotting because they are in a run mode. Why don't we just automatically spot the station we work? Contest sponsor can record the spots and create the score in real time and show positions by appropriate entities. Such a system would put us in the front line of technology and be a leader as oppose to be conservative and be a follower, eventually..
