The camels nose (more like an elephants nose) is now in our tent. This is not league contest and the rules should not be subject to BoD or any other ARRL policy branch like CAC. I'm disappointed that
Sorry, Mike, but the "computerized logging is assistance" mantra is a worn redherring. Computer logging simply automates the record-keeping process, but does not perform any "radioman-like" function
Duane, Your proposal spells the death of SOA, because with Skimmer in my station who needs packet? 73, de Hans, K0HB Just a boy and his radio -- I donā??t have a dog in the HF contesting fight, but w
Fine sentiment for commenting on an FCC petition, Mike, but I honestly don't know ANYONE (except now maybe you) who views contesting as a "training ground". Never heard someone in the middle of CQWW

A dumb contester might do that, but a good operator would just let it populate his WriteLog bandmap, then periodically harvest the band map. The advantage that this would be to a single-op in SS CW
it would win almost every Section/Division in which a credible installation was used. (Credible=full time SDR second radio in use with a moderately skilled operator.) A non-user "radioman" who wishe
Bob has cut through all the rhetoric and nailed the core issue. This cannot be decided in a "popularity contest". Each contest sponsor needs to make the decision based on their vision for the future
I don't think there is. It's all the same technology, just scattered over a bigger circle. The technology of radio is essentially globally homogenous. The magic "500 meter circle" is an artificial p
Al, I haven't used Skimmer in a contest. I also haven't used a gill net (attached to the gunwale, extending no more than 499 meters from the centerline of the boat) in a Walleye Fishing Tournament y
David, That is a persuasive argument for the use of Skimmer. I find myself in agreement with it. But you didn't make ANY argument which persuades me that it belongs in SOA-Classic. If you need assis
Boy, I finger faulted that one!!!!! First sentence of second paragraph SHOULD have read: "But you didn't make ANY argument which persuades me that it belongs in SO-Classic." (NOT "SOA-Classic"!!!!)
