8. Self-spotting Self-potting consists of announcing the activity of a radio station, made by the operator himself or by third parties at his request. For example, the operator of the station with the callsign CTnAAA announces in the cluster that the station CTnAAA is active on the frequency XX,XXX MHz…
As it is impracticable to monitor the entire frequency band in the contest, as well as all the existingclusters on the Internet, and even other communication clusters (for example, chats, mobile phones,social networks, etc.), this regulation does not prohibit self-spotting.

- RS(T);
- QSO serial number, starting at 001;
- 6 character Grid Locator (e.g.: IN60AG), from both stations.

10. Points 1 point per kilometre between the grids locators of each station in QSO.
