Hmmmm. As an interested non-contesting observer, I have a question. 
Why would contesters be willing to spend thousands - or tens of 
thousands - of dollars to build a great station, and then worry about 
whether the software to maximize the performance of that station is 
free or costs $75?  Doesn't sound like very logical system 
engineering to me.
