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!

I have been following this thread with both interest and trepidation. 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.
