<div dir="ltr">From my in-state efforts, the number of spots in the OhQP that are wroth chasing are mainly Ohio mobile stations. Most of the guys who are running people will be worked anyway, so I dont want to see their spots. I tighten up my filters so when a spot does show up in the spot window, it's something I need to pay attention to. Otherwise there are way too many spots of people who are not in the OhQP, and it's way too distracting. If I recall, I think I used these commands in a DXSpider network:<div>

For an in-state op, spotting any out of state stations is a waste of time - you will work more people by calling CQ than chasing spots of people in a standard QSO that get spotted.<br>
<br>Good luck to everyone this year. As many know, I have moved out of Ohio, and now live in VA. My anniversary is on Sunday, and my wife booked us into a hotel in Virginia Beach for the weekend. Who am I to argue? I live by "happy wife, happy life". Hopefully CU next year from VA.<br>
