One could always rig up several rigs to run FT-8 as a robot, and enter
as Zero Operator, Multi Rig Entry.
If enough operators did this effort, perhaps the "olde fogeys who won't
adapt to new technology" would acknowledge the advancement of the art
and include zero op robotic contesting as part of the "new" technology.
After all the >99.44% of the contest operators say that sharing of log
files AFTER a contest to create "super check partial" "shared log info"
is NOT assistance, so Y knot Zero Operator, single station, and/or zero
Operator, Multi station entries?
