- I don't think Skimmers will attract any new contesters. Contesting will remain a test of running. Skimmers will just make it easier for experienced contesters to do even more running, while waiting f

- Actually thats the opposite of my impression. I think CW contesting is a pretty intimidating effort (and sometimes purposely so by the other high speed ops). On SSB, you just have to speak, on RTTY i

- Speaking for myself, I disagree. The people who are there for the love of it could care less what technology the other contesters are using. For myself, I'm a DXer first and a contester second. I get

- John, I though like that prior to Internet spotting. There is no fun in being spotted in Europe when your signal into Europe is not good enough to control the mob. The skimmer will make that worse. P

- The feeling that if you aren't a 30-40 wpm guy you don't really love it is exactly the intimidating spirit I was referring to and why it will help some of us play more in cw contests than before. The
