Me too. It's not that I'm anti "technology", but it seems to me people are
missing a part of what makes contesting, or DXing for that matter, enjoyable
when they rely on tools such at these to make QSO's. I've always found it far
more satisfying to uncover a multiplier, additional QSO's, or work a new one on
Topband when it's not aided by something that replaces operator skill.
