VQSpot guidancd notes

Using VQSpot to send DX-Spots automatically:

VQSpot is a simple program developed for sending DX-Spots automatically when QSO are logged into VQLog (Please read the guidance notes below).

This version of VQSpot only works if you have version 3.1 build 81 (or later) of VQLog.

While VQSpot is running (you can leave it minimized) it will detect every new QSO being logged in VQLog and it will send a formatted DX-Spot to the DX-Cluster looking like:
DX de EA6VQ: 144300.0 EA6TST JM19MP<TR>JM08ZZ Tnx QSO ("Tnx QSO" is whatever text you have entered in the Remarks field)

VQSpot is only useful if you enter QSO in real time, this is at the same moment you make them. It you enter old QSO they obviously won't be sent.

Guidance notes:

VQSpot is not intended to be used when you are running a pileup, otherwise you will flood the DX-Cluster with useless spots. Use it mainly when you are working DX in search and pounce mode.

VQSpot is intended to be used for reporting QSO in the VHF and up bands, where most of the QSO reported are DX. So far it works for the HF bands but this could change as soon as I detect an improper use of the system.

The only responsible of the DX-Spots sent is YOU, so make sure you make an appropriate use of the program.

Some additional information:

VQSpot does not send spots directly to the DX-Cluster, but making use of an intermediate page hosted at http://www.dxmaps.com. This means:

I can centrally restrict the use of the system (or even definitively suspend it) when there is an improper use of it.

I WILL ban any user that sends spots with inappropriate or wrong information.

All sent spots are in a log, that I can analyze at any time and that it's publicly available upon request.

If after reading all the above you still think that VQSpot is evil and that it will "collapse the DX-Cluster" or so, please be so kind not to annoy me with your irrational fears.... I'm really fed up of having to justify every single action I take or program I make, so don't waste your time E-Mailing me.
