Contesters If that is contesting in the 21st century count me out. Of course I agree it would be a lot easier to update transceivers by just updating the software. But for all the rest - I just dont

I hope I didn't offend anyone by my "vision" of the future. I still advocate two fundamental concepts in contesting that should NEVER be changed: 1. All QSOs are completely carried via the RF bands
packetcluster is in band. but then again, its not a 'mode', its an application that you can reach via rf or land-line or internet. how about tcp/ip rf to wired links? you can actually use the same tc

Dialogue between K3PP (> >) and K1TTT (>): Yes there is electronic aparatus actually decoding the signals, but the task of pulling the QSO information out of the hash should still be relegated to our
Just let me register my agreement with Glenn and Cornelius. What needs to happen is for there to be a consensus about what elements constitute the essentials of the sport of amateur radio contesting
Lets start with one point at a time. I would think that consensus on this point would at least be fairly easy to obtain. Since the "sport of amateur radio contesting" already includes elements that d
RTTY and packet are clearly exceptions. K6STI's algorithms can, I'm told, decode RTTY signals that the human ear can only detect very fragmentarily, if at all. But I think we ought to draw the line a
i have always liked the analogies between sailboat racing and ham radio contesting. they share many aspects of technologic advancement, strategy, planning, training, and reliance on your equipment. a
In spite of the fact that I am very proud of my ability to copy pretty fast CW, and CW under relatively tough conditions, I never was bothered by guys making a few points, or giving me a QSO with the

As a prime instigator of this thread, let me add just one more analogy and then I'll shut up (wait, I'm a ham, that's impossible!). We must absolutely continue to push technology, but there's a pract
