HA! EXCELLENT, STEVE.
I was thinking along the same lines, It does not seem very sporting if
you just click on the cluster window and have the computer tune the
rig. That means you must rely on other hams to first find, work, and
then tell you where the contacts are. That requires very little
operating skill.
But I am sure Rick will explain why I am all wet on this one!

It appears that in order to be competitive, a station needs a high end
computer, that can run software for logging, scanning the DX cluster
websites, turn the antenna or steer the phased array to the most
optimal direction for any given station, show a display for CW
skimmer, and all the operator needs to do is click on the station
shown on the display, and the computer and radio do the rest,
including sending the code for the signal report or other exchange
criteria. At most the mere human needs to slightly twiddle a few
knobs, the fewer the better, or perhaps hit a button a few times now
and then.
