That's why other contests should follow the (now old) lead of DARC and
the WAE. Combine the two SO categories. They're pretty much
indistinguishable and unenforceable now.

I agree with Ed - it was a terrible decision to allow panadapters and
waterfalls in the unassisted category. It was obvious to me that it
wouldn't take long for bandmaps to be merged with these displays,
making unassisted and assisted indistinguishable to the adjudicators,
even with a recording. The law of unintended consequences.

Hi Ed,
How did you feel when you bought your first memory keyer that could be
programmed for serial numbers? Mine was an AEA, sometime in the '60s, I
think. Do you use programmable memories and dupe-checking with logging
software? Or are you still sending everything with a paddle, logging
with pencil and paper, and using a paper dupe sheet like we did in the
'50s?

in the
unassisted category. And why I have never used them.
