[CQ-Contest] A new "DX cluster" experience for contesters

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Telephone scheduling used to be a big problem too.  I never head anyone
trying to ban or remove telephones.  Then we had 2m spotting nets.  

If the advances were not beneficial then nobody would use them and we
wouldn't be having this discussion.

W9SZ hit the nail on the head.

What I have a problem with is a person saying "using the internet is not ham
radio" when in actuality I'm using rf to make the contact with other
stations.  I've simply extended the cable connecting my keyer, mic and
speaker to my HF rig.

I've had a lot of fun building my remote station so I can get on the air.
If it were not for the internet, I would not be able to have an hf station
which allows me to have fun dx'n and contesting.
