Hi Mats - it's your call, of course, but in my 24 or so years on CQ-Contest (and on Towertalk, before CQ-Contest was born), I've seen these things come and go many times.  I would encourage the moderators to exercise their influence to deflect the group back to more mainstream concerns.  This too shall pass.

I think the time has come for me to make the unfortunate but necessary
decision I have long been thinking on.

This group has been hijacked by people who think FT(x) is part of true
contesting.

It might be “part of someone’s contesting world”, but definitely not mine!

Therefore, this group and discussion has diverted into an animal that is
diametric to the one I joined many years ago.

I love contesting where operator skills is the fundament. The FT(x) virus
has contaminated this group - and I do not find any value at all to follow
this group anymore. Subjects are not relevant at all, to me at least.

Thanks for the time here and see you in REAL contests onwards...

Hi Barry,



“Why bother with RF?  Just move it to the internet.  You can't hear
it, anyway.”



Because RF is what makes it Radio, not the data processing part.



Those not interested in the RF part have already migrated to Hamsphere. Not
sure if they have 'contests' though. :^)
