I don't know about these......  Why not have the computer power up the station, 
you close the door,leave the house for the weekend, and 48 hrs later look and 
see how your computer/software did in the contest?  I think we'd be better off 
knowing the rigs we're using.. The hobby is getting a little "too software" 
dependent!  IMHO
