My comments refer to the fact that contesting community clearly seems to
give up traditional skillsets in favor for internet, RBN, clusters,
decoders, call databases etc etc.
Many traditional skills are gone!
Paper logs to logging programs. Hand keys and bugs to keyers. Separate
tx/rx to transceivers. All these are a result of digital evolution. No
one complained of these evolutions or asked for separate contest classes.
The Internet, RBN, clusters, decoders, call database and SDR radios are
just on-going digital evolution of our hobby. May it continue for
decades to come!
