[RTTY] BARTG HF Contest 2015 Preliminary Results

[pcooper]

Hi all,

Interesting views and some different points of view being shown here.

Yes, a computer is pretty much a requirement, especially for RTTY, but maybe there are still some that use machine generated RTTY and log on paper. However, I doubt that many of those ever appear in the top 100 in a contest.
That's not to say they don't have fun though!

If you start to think back, and it isn't that long ago, logs were posted in to the contest adjudicator, and you had to wait the best part of a year before you saw any results.
Being able to submit a log and see some results in weeks or a few months is progress - to me anyway.
Phil - you might as well denigrate LoTW for similar reasons.

I am reminded of a cartoon I saw recently, which showed two cavemen sitting round a fire.
One say to the other "Tools, then fire, and now the wheel! Do you remember when life was simpler?"

It's all a matter of perspective.
