[CQ-Contest] AI for SSB RBN

[JOHN GEIGER]

It shouldn't be too hard, then, to use AI to not only recognize callsigns and the exchange but also to respond to it with a voice synthesizer and to log the information.  We could completely automate SSB contesting, something like QST envisioned in their 1980s satirical piece "Have to find myself a hobby."

I can think of at least two possible paths forward.

(1) Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa, and Google's Assistant (there are others)
are very good at understanding what I say, as well as what visitors with
various accents say.  With proper legal rights to one of these, or to a
similar program, probably little new technology is needed for an SSB RBN
although development would be non-trivial and might be limited to use of an
approved list of phonetics.

(2) Digital voice -- which is more spectrum efficient and clearer -- might
be easier to decode for RBN purposes.
