I just don't like the fact that contesting had gotten to the point where
technology does everything. Now you don't even have to copy CW or tune the
band, the computer will do it all for you. I would guess that sooner or later
"unassisted" will allow for it.

Why is that? Why would you care how anyone finds you?
How will you even be able to tell whether anyone finds you via spinning a knob
or via CW Skimmer? If anything, Skimmer spots are more evenly distributed in
time compared with current packet/cluster spots that tend to result in
congregated callers.
Are you worried about having to compete against folks using Skimmer? If so,
simply operate unassisted.
I don't get it ... what am I missing?

Right now I just "tolerate" SSB contesting, but skimmer might lead me to become
