[CQ-Contest] Dead zero beat pile ups

[Jukka Klemola]

Nobody trust the call they get from a computer.
Why should anyone trust the frequency they get from the same computer?

Of course, the un-assisted do not have this problem in their operating.
The un-assisted are enjoying the real life instead of this kind of features
the computers, internet, simulations and what ever there is for the
assisted.

The assisted can never trust what they see.
Also they must rely on what they hear.
