Jack, W6FB (Father of the KRC2 Band Decoder), inquired:
> This is getting to look an awful lot like big brother watching
Yes and No. Big brother would also be 'controlling' a lot of things from
Central HQ. Yes, everyone would need to be connected. "No Adjustments
Necessary" ... big brother connectivity would eliminate the ability to
tweak (or pre-populate bandmaps before the contest or during alleged
off-air times). All logging program authors would have to abide by big
brother's STRICT, detailed and specific, rules.
Politicians and information "leaks" continue to remind all of us that the
"Honor System" has big gaping holes in it.
At least with big brother monitoring & controlling, some un-level playing
field issues would be resolved, and operator skill would take on an even
greater status.
In the interim, it's "Contesting As Usual" ... just get on and have fun ...
lots of fun :-)
