[CQ-Contest] Americas Cup Sailing - Watch and Learn

[ko7ss at yahoo.com]

Thanks for the heads-up on the the America's Cup. I just watched an hour of it on 
the DirecTV NBCSHD feed and it was great! A combination of high tech, tactics, and
human athletic performance. I thought sailing was a guy sitting in a little boat
with his hand on the rudder. Turns out to be a great team sport.

But I don't see how this applies to technology and where contesting is "going". Is
your post another anti skimmer rant? Where contesting is going is a sunspot minimum
where W1/W2/W3 will dominate even more, because of contest rules and scoring. 99% of
contesters use "technology" to simply make the contest more fun, to make more Q's.
Why would anyone sit in front of a radio if you can't make any Q's? Contesting is
becoming boring even with "technology"
