Robot stations.

[Larry Tyree]

Well, as someone who has done this, I would make the following proposal:

1. Pick a contest and sponsor a robot category.  It wouldn't have to be 
   done as part of the official contest, but could be done with results in
   the NCJ.  I would suggest Field Day.

2. The robot can only search and pounce.  No packet information can be used.

3. Comply to FCC rules.  This is some gray areas here.  If I write a computer
   program that controls the radio, am I in control of the operation since
   I wrote the program?

4. CW only.

As more people start doing this type of thing, then we can think about 
expanding it.  It really is a lot of work and to do it right, it will
cost some bucks as well.
