I think I just found a new business--selling automatic Iders to contesters!
Remember the ones we constructed to connect to 2m rigs back when repeaters were
still not that common?
The CW version would send the ID out at, Oh, 50-60wpm so not to take up time.
The voice one, for the purists or if they pass a rule saying you have to ID in
voice for the SSB contests could also be speeded up. They would be better than
the DVRs now in use because they could track the number of times the rig was
keyed and ID according to the particular contest.
The ardunio homebrew version could be published in NCJ and/or CQ. It would
have the side benefit of use for holding the freq just as the big guns do now
with DVR (which nobody has argued is unethical though we all know it is done!).
If you think this is just a "rant", wait until they start to come out in
response to this rule
