Who among us is surprised?  Almost all of the new technology tools (SDR, 
chatroom, Spectran, etc.) while intriguing and fun to operate, can be used to 
make QSO's that would not otherwise be made.  I personally have no interest in 
working DX that way.  It removes some of the challenge that drew me to Topband 
in the first place.  Sadly, it causes one to look at some achievements on the 
band with a far more skeptical eye too.
