[CQ-Contest] Contesting Technology - Phone Skimmer Nears Beta Test

[Marijan Miletic]

"Matt, KA1R, developed an SSB version of the CW Skimmer. With a CQWW score
of over 1M points, and an innovation score of 81, his Xtreme score of 181
was the highest of all Xtreme entries."

 

Five years ago there was a hope that mature speech recognition technology
would be applied to limited vocabulary hamradio contesting.  It has become
April fools joke instead sadly illustrating dumbing of our hobby.  It took
us 25 years to recognize DX Cluster.  Fortunately Alex, VE3NEA made a leap
jump with CW & RTTY Skimmer.  Internet also helped with remote operations.
Superior SDR delayed by M/M stations without proper handling of collocated
TX.  The best scientific hobby of 21st century seems to be difficult for
conservative OM :-(

 

Happy Easter & Passover &  73 de Mario, S56A, N1YU
