[CQ-Contest] Whata contesting "fun" nowadays

[Steef]

The vast majorities of intrans in the CQWW are UNASS-isted.

This means that all of those people are NOT using any help what so ever.



Thus no DX cluster, RBN, Skimmer, … , …

Ore even some one to make you coffee, a sandwich, ore what ever.



Therefore it is not likely that all of those people are calling the DX at
the same time zero beat.

Ore is it?



I say, cut the BS, and the UNASS-isted category.

Whit the exception of someone who really has no internet, en therefore asks
for special permission in advance.



Just my 2 euros, and have fun with the HOBBY!

> Solution? Young (wo)man go split. 100, 2000, 5000 whatever - up (or down).
> Spread'em out. All over the other suckers, screw'em, they are competition
> anyway, little QRM will keep them notch down.

> With proliferation of skimmers, ass-isted operations, things are getting

> Outside of contests split operation can be tolerated, but in wall-to-wall

> Hijacking:

> Unsportsmanlike conduct. Maybe time to clamp on it. SDR recordings can

> I treasure old days of boy, station he built, operated without
> "ass-istance", even using paper logs and dupe sheets.
