[CQ-Contest] W7RM SS CW Operation on LiveATC

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Thankfully Paul does not speak for me or most of the hams I know.  
Remote contesting and remote sites are something we are going to be 
seeing more and more.  I think it is good as it allows seniors that want 
to move into a condo and not have to worry about yard work etc still be 
able to get on and play radio.

Just because you don't like internet hunting or internet games does not 
make them bad.  Ask Blizzard Entertainment who created World of Warcraft 
how they are doing.

Why is it that when you age you become intolerant to change?  What 
exactly are you afraid of?

So much venom over a hobby that hands out paper certificates and wood 
plaques.
