Not only that, but the number of awards thereafter could be halved,
saving ARRL and other societies lots of money.
But seriously, folks, can you imagine the mess that would result if the
same phone ops who "amuse" us with their lousy audio added either
subaudible tones or 100 wpm CW to their awful signals.
I'm waiting with interest to see whether CQWW follows through on rule
XII (A) (5) and disciplines at least a few stations for
excessivebandwidth. I'm not interested in outing a list of those
disciplined, necessarily, but I hope at least the number of actions
taken is made public, so that people know the committee is serious.
With the tools now available, in particular whole contest recordings and
SDR panadaptors, it should be possible to objectively define excessive
bandwidth (e.g., level in dB relative to peak amplitude, versus
frequency difference).

Ämne: Suggestion for Cabrillo -- and the phone skimmer, new idea
Rarely do one's wishes be fulfilled so soon, even retroactively!
Goran/SM0DRD, who thinks that hte subaudible tones that someone mentioned
would be a great step towards a quick realization of the phone skimmer. But
even better would be *** combining cw and SSB into one signal *** The cw
could be sent at 100 or something wpm like a rattle, just as with those
obsolete spy transmissions. It won't disturb the audio since there is so
much overdrive noise already, and can then be detected easily by a new
version of the cw skimmer.
But what's more, we could halve the number of contests!!! Save countless
$$'s and marriages. And for die-hard cw only people, the number of contacts
will increase and the extra transmitted phone messages can be automatically
generated.

Goran/SM0DRD
