Maybe the ARRL Contest Desk needs to look at this again...

I've been trying to get warm and fuzzy with this concept. In some ways I
don't see it much different than programming a voice recorder with CQ etc /
etc. As I see it your initial contact *_HAS_* to be keyboard to keyboard
with no digipeaters involved. If that is truly the case then I believe that
it does fall under the rules as acceptable. That being said, why don't we
take this to the next level (or actually down a level) and just put a voice
id'er on a FM mobile rig and do the same thing on 146.580? Now this brings
up another can of worms. According to the rules you can only operate one
station on a band at a time. So if you were beaconing on 2 meters either
with CU2QSO or a simple voice id'er you can *_NOT_* have any other 2 meter
transmitters on the air ... Correct?
