[CQ-Contest] Get out of jail free card

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Oh?  Really?

So what you're telling us is that anyone running an older radio (like a Ten
Tec Corsair, or a Drake TR4C-Sherwood, or for that matter any radio that
doesn't have a computer interface) can't compete for an award because they
don't have the capability of storing the QSO frequency?

Thanks.  Nice to know I'm DQ'd from winning anything before I turn the radio
on.  Way to go.

Sorry Jim.  In your zeal to ferret out cheaters and cheating, you're also
severly impacting those of us who manage to be somewhat competitive with
equipment that didn't just come off the boat.  Or are you saying that only
those who can afford to buy the latest and greatest deserve to compete?

Good point. This is a key. It will be important for the contest sponsors to
require the frequency of the QSOs be part of the database submitted in the
Cabrillo files. That should make a "signature" clear. The upcoming RDXC
does just that.
