> Jeff,

> Not sure how you feel about this technology, but please take a look at
this and look at those who have signed so far.
>
> Following is a link to an on line petition that I wrote a few nights ago
in collaboration with N6TJ/ZD8Z.  I went to bed at midnight and signed off
asking him to read it and get the ball rolling if he liked what he saw.
>
> Some of you perhaps have kept up with this technology and have envisioned
what it could do to CW Contesting.
>
> Please read what the petition says and sign it only if you agree.

> I understand and respect that some want Skimmer to be included in CW
Contesting.  My opinion is that it will soon turn the "sport" into nothing
more than a computer game.  If you also believe this is true, pass this
along to as many others who might also believe the same way.  If you belong
to a club of contesters, that is a good way to reach the masses and if each
person sends it to several others that have not received it, it will go
worldwide quickly.
