I never suggested any of those things, and they are all totally superfluous to my proposal.  It is an old and completely bogus debating technique to extrapolate somebody's position to the ridiculous, like you are doing now.

By the way what you are describing is basically FT8 carried to an extreme ... and what I have been proposing is the result of me trying to arrive at something that is different enough from FT8 that it would be a desirable contesting mode.

It sounds like a universal digital mode that can be translated into CW, RTTY, PHONE or even Video at the RX end. It can also carry machine commands to initiate remote printer and print instant QSL cards, automatically generate and send spot to all the spotting networks. Spots themselves can carry a code that will tune radios with proper software to the required frequency and initiate exchange with the originator. GREAT! And what do we need radio for? With the recent allowance of self spotting and extensive use of Internet in contests  by ARRL, all contesting should slide into internet and abandon ancient radio waves media.   Sounds like there is no place in this scenario for human being. END OF HOBBY!
