This was all clearly predicted during the big Skimmer (code reader) debate
seven years ago. It was inevitable that without anything stopping it a CW
Contest would become more like an RTTY Contest. The only step necessary to put
five rigs on the air with lockouts is to automate the pressing of buttons once
callsigns have been copied that match the SCP. I'm surprised full automation
was not accomplished in that many years.

If nothing else good comes of the TO7A operation, perhaps a renewed interest to
preserve SOAB instead of eliminating it will be the result. That's a good
thing.
