[CQ-Contest] SDR,DSP,Skimmer....the death of CW contesting

[Pavel Perchine]

Why?
I think because the cheating now is more and more easy thing to do.

I can see a station where 50-80% of all QSOs would be done by computer not by a man.

The software would scan bands, check callsigns against a current log /a callsign database and make QSOs.
The operator can enjoy getting some DXs and other special stations.
3-5 computers like that and try to beat this "operator".

The feeling that it's possible and someone can do it would stop serious effort even before the contest started.

Am I wrong with such a conclusion?
