IMHO,  packet is not unfair, it is just undesirable.  We are getting
farther  away from being radio operators and closer to being
technogeeks.   Nothing wrong with new technology, but the direction
we're moving has less  and less to do with transmitting and receiving
radio signals by a human  operator.

I miss the old days.  :-(

Pine away, Bill. We wouldn't be having this conversation if it weren't for  
technogeeks. Also, I doubt if there would even be any contesting if we still  
used Valiant's, HQ180's and bugs. Us OF's would be playing pinochle  instead.
