[CQ-Contest] Voice Automation Enhancements and the future

[Alfred J. Frugoli (KE1FO)]

You're comparing apples to oranges here.  There are vast differences 
between CW, phone and digital mode contests.  Strategy is a big one that 
comes to mind.  100 watts pep on CW is very different than 100 watts pep 
on phone, which therefore requires different strategy.  RTTY contests 
are much slower paced than CW or Phone contests.  Weather my outgoing 
signal is generated by a straight key, iambic paddle, computer, my 
voice, green keyes or a sound card matters little when you consider the 
different operating strategies necessary for different contests and modes.
