[TenTec] {TenTec- field day from hell, contesting and the point of the tool.

[LARRY GREENBERG, N5BEA]

I beleive people are missing the point..  For each and very tool available 
to operator/contestors there is a sensable or even appropriate use.

There is no doubt that a good operator with a reasonably sized  backpack in 
the wilderness
could maintain two opereators with equipment, powers sources  antennas 
shelter and provisions for a weekend contest. He could have a respectable 
showing.  With mutipliers, he is right in the running.

Just carry it on step further.. Remember all the discussion about  
networking/interfacing radios and pcs?
We have the technology. So group, why not let the radios out on their own? I 
mean interfaced rigs, maybe online--BINGO.  The master robot program - 
TenTecs from hell,finding open frequencies, aiming beams and changing 
operating modes and making contacts on their own with instantly verified 
logs.

Why the nit picking?

The point is there is a time and a place for every tool.
