Re: [CQ-Contest] NAQP Revised Rules

[".. VE5ZX" <ve5zx@hotmail.com>]

Personally I can't wait until the old guard who wants contesting to 
remain pure like the old days and avoid incorporating new technologies 
and processes in contests with bizarre rule changes is replaced with a 
younger more inquisitive generations of contesters.

Hopefully, a younger generation will eventually  have control and start 
to transform the nature of amateur radio contests. I won't be surprised 
to see the introduction of a completely automated category.

Having seen the change from hand keys to keyers, individual transmitters 
and receivers to transceivers and paper logs to logging programs and I 
am always puzzled by those people that want to "stop the world and get 
off here" when there are so new exciting possibilities that could 
encouraged. I hope I live long enough to see how the next generation 
changes the shape and scope of contesting to embrace rather discourage 
the development and use of new technologies.

Now I will crawl back into my hole before the guns start blazing
