The following is not necessarily aimed at any particular individual like
Bill or Joe, but if the shoe fits.............
methinks someone is attempting to carry Handicapping a bit too far!
Location, by State, County, or other Governmental unit(s)
Operator(s) sorted by age & sex
Antenna(s), by type, height, gain, and number. This includes Towers.
HAAT of Antenna(s)
Radio(s), by Brand and Model
keyer(s), Voice, CW, and Digital. With a subset of Macros.
Rotator(s), by Brand
Logging Software, by Version and Author
Computer(s), by Brand, Speed, and number and type of Ports
Spotting networks & types (Radio vs. Internet)
Power Source(s), AC vs. DC by Voltage
Brand(s) of Power Supplies, Linear vs. Switchmode
Paddles vs. Straight Keys
TNC(s), by Brand/Type
Coax vs. Ladder Line
Connectors, by Brand and Type
Brand of battery in the Flashlight when the power goes out
and on ad nausium.
I really pity the guy who comes up with a "fair" Handicapping system,
cause I think he's going to need some very strong Drugs and a Straight
Jacket by the time it's all said and done.
In short, anybody else who has "something" that I don't has an
advantage over me, and I want to cry about it to the world. Grow up
guys, it's only a Hobby. In the real world, the guy who is more
accurate with the bigger gun wins.
