You're right -- too much grousing.  But not from me (if you read carefully).

K5KG says "I agree. All of the grousing about remote operating is beginning
to sound what it was like when SSB was overtaking AM back in the 1950's!"

I was thinking that, too, and of all the grousing about Guest Operators
back in the (I think) 1960's. Now, it's so acceptable that most of you
don't remember that it was controversial.

So, again, if the new technology makes contesting not enough fun anymore,
find something else to do.

But if contesting is so important to you that you get despondent or angry
about it, that's a different problem.

Now I gotta run my wife on an errand and then set up the CT-DOS and the
TS-850SAT and the mighty K3KU dipole for SS CW.  CU about 00Z Saturday
night.

73, Art K3KU
