<h2 id="accuracy" class="mt-4">Data Accuracy</h2>
|
|
<p>Please note that the data coming out of Spothole is only as good as the data going in. People mis-hear and make
|
|
typos when spotting callsigns all the time. There are also plenty of cases where Spothole's data, particularly
|
|
location data, may be inaccurate. For example, there are POTA parks that span multiple US states, countries that
|
|
span multiple CQ zones, portable operators with no requirement to sign /P, etc. If you are doing something where
|
|
accuracy is important, such as contesting, you should not rely on Spothole's data to fill in any gaps in your
|
|
log.</p>
|
|
<p>In the Spothole user interface, under "Your Data", you can enter your credentials for QRZ.com and/or HamQTH if
|
|
you have them. This allows Spothole to augment its data with lookups from these services. See the following
|
|
section, Privacy, for details of how these are handled. If you are looking at the map and see lots of spots in
|
|
the geographic centre of countries, allowing these lookups will help. For QRZ.com a paid account is required to
|
|
look up operator locations.</p>
