[CQ-Contest] Ban the RBN was:: what is required of recevied audio, and whay

[Steve Lott]

I applaud Pete and many others for leading us to new tools

I for one am very thankful that K1EA led us to software tools for logging
and broke that frontier
if I never see a paper dupe sheet it will be too soon :)

For many of us we enjoy pushing the edges of our once only AM and
continuous wave hobby

and like Pete said if you don't just turn those feature off
or put blinders on and be happy with your self

cheers!
