Topband: Summer Update & a Surprise

[FZ Bruce]

Yes the ARRL needs to step up.

Years ago there were foot races, then after the invention of the
bicycle races between them were common. After the automobile was
invented they raced. No one seriously thought of foot racing
(competing) against a bicycle or automobile.
ARRL DXCC competition bands need sub categories.

Hi Andy Hi All

 Absolutely simple and correct.

 Why don't ARRL leaders understand this?

 It is not possible to equate the results of a robot operator with the

 results of a human operator.

 For FT8, there should only be a separate category for DXCC.
