Maybe it looks like a robot technology today. Regardless, there is a piece of wetware is mastering the system. At least the wetware will be the system creator. Are we going to see the rise of Sysop c
I think there already was a "robot" entry for a cw test several years ago.... Jim: Thanks for the compliment to my mental capacity. It's is great to have it acknowledged publicly. I've only seen FT8
Thanks, Jamie; Every time I mention a "ROBOT" or similar for CW contesting I get beat up by ops who say categorically say "CW Skimmers can do anywhere near as good as he human brain." Yet, I just pri
Look up KH6JF/MM. It was an FT8 system floating on a raft, no operator in control. Apparently made thousands of QSOs, including me on 20m. 73, Dennis NJ6G I've only seen FT8 working with an operator
Well .. I just asked Hank if he has seen this: https://asiakas.kotisivukone.com/files/ohdxf.kotisivukone.com/contest_station_2020.pdf OK - it is news. We are heading to 2019. I made the presentation

This is very cool. Wish I had worked them. I hope everyone doesn't get themselves tied up in knots over this. 73,Ken, AB1J Look up KH6JF/MM. It was an FT8 system floating on a raft, no operator in c
Then, why do I get beaten up for predicting that a robot controlled CW entry will be the top score in something like CQWW DX or ??? 72/73 de n8xx Hg QRP >99.44% of the time S56A claimed to have opera
Yes, very cool. W6OAT and I are among ops who chase CQ Fields, and the ones that are all water are a challenge. Both of us worked this station for a new field! And for those who won't bother to go re
Lots of people repeat lots of things they hear from others that turn out to be false. When I was growing up it was called gossip. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ CQ-Conte
That's how I fell for the hobby in my teens. I believed in a lot of false info about it, or was it all true back then? LOL We need to be very careful when telling prospective hams to follow mailing l
There may be people who have not worked Marconi, IY4M, on ten. It was a CW robot. 30 years ago. Maybe it is still there, I do not know. 73, Jukka OH6LI ti 18. jouluk. 2018 klo 14.28 Hank Greeb (n8xx@

How cool is it to have worked nobody????? And take credit for an award?? Or credit for a contest QSO?? OMG. Totally ridiculous. Not impressed. 73 Peter SM2CEW At 04:59 2018-12-18, Jim Brown wrote: On
If you designed a thing that is technically interesting and it works people not you, pretty cool. If you only count the awards as part of the robots contacts and not your own, still pretty cool If yo

I did not work the robot, but heard stories about it at the time. If it was truly an autonomous one, it sure had more embedded intelligence than some 'human QSOs'. While not looking forward to the ba
What are CQ Fields? Tnx. The area defined by the first two letters of the gridsquare. The award is sponsored by CQ Magazine. And we've been happy to have Rusty and Bill move up here! And we i
You appear not to have read the link. It's VERY cool to have made contact with a QRP radio floating on a research raft out in the Pacific, which, by the way, took a LOT of very good engineering to se
