[CQ-Contest] Doctor DX clone?

[Jim McDonald]

I saw a prototype of it, before it was commercialized, at the ARRL Southwestern Division Convention in Scottsdale, AZ in about 1982, I think.  The developer was an N7 1X2.  It was in a box that simulated a radio and had a short length of coax that appeared to run out a window but didn't.

I think visiting ARRL dignitaries who played with it included K1ZZ and W2HD.  It was popular and fun for everyone, as they were scratching their heads trying to figure out what contest was on.

I saw/listened to somebody "operating" Dr DX at a club meeting circa 1981 or 1982. Ho-hum. Simulated amateur radio. I was 33 years old and sure as hell had better things to do with my time. Now, nearly 40 years later, I still do.
