Hello all. I have watched and read the debate about Skimmer. I admit that my prejudices are against it. But I have to admit that both sides make a strong argument for whether it should or should not

Richard, nothing against your thought processes expressed below, but skimmer is just a receiver. Look back on skimmer a decade or two from now and you'll have to admit it's a crude receiver at that b

Richard and many others continue to raise the specter of "robot wars" as a result of Skimmer technology. I do not believe that is - or needs to be - the end result of skimmer evolution. Instead, cons

Don't know about W4KFC's robot, however: CT, NA, Writelog, TR, N1MM, etc. do not do the receiving for you. You still have to turn that large dial, find stations, decode their callsigns and work them

That's something to sit back and think about - where is contesting headed in the next couple decades? I can envision an almost totally automated station that finds the stations, QSY's to their freque

Hi Zack: This is NOT the game I want to play. I believe this is the most important issue underlying the Skimmer debate. I would like to draw a line BEFORE we reach the point of arguing whether a foot

I think that the fully automated station is a bit of a red herring. While technologically interesting, there wouldn't be much point to it. Once the station is set up and making QSO's, presumably with

Or why not, for that sort, allow both types of operation to co-exist, and let the operators decide which class they want to enter. I think the whole focus on "assistance" is misguided - but the fact

If finding a station is one of the human operatorīs skills to be compared - what for do you then want to use skimmer in contesting? Is it technological throttling to ban cars from bicycle races but s

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

Now I think you're onto something. How about a contest category with no packet, no skimmer, no computer generated cw. Send cw by hand (keyer OK) and copy it by ear. Maybe allow computer generated CQ
