Totally agree and I experienced one of the first WAE contests when packet
was allowed in the same category as single-op.  I operated from France and
my score was totally demolished by German stations using packet by a very
significant margin.  It maybe isn't a big advantage here in the US, but it
sure is in Europe.

These were the days of packet radio and DX Cluster beginings.  DL had a
clear tech advantage which is leveled now by internet.  WAE tries to promote
tough low band DX by higher mults.  Spoting helps EU stations greatly while
other beams are fixed just like ours in ARRL or Asian DX contest.

I am not using packet lately due to overcrowding but I learnt how to find DX
since 1962...
