[UK-CONTEST] CW Skimmer

[Chris Tran GM3WOJ]

Hello UK-contesters

As you will no doubt be aware, there has been a lot of discussion on the 
cq-contest reflector about the impending use of CW Skimmer in major CW 
contests. My personal opinion is that although this is very innovative and 
clever technology, it could sound the death knell for CW contesting in the 
form that most of us enjoy. Perhaps this is over-stating things, but only 
time will tell ....

Please have a look at the online petition about CW Skimmer - already signed 
by such contesting luminaries as N6TJ (ZD8Z), W8JI, KQ2M, ES5TV, ZC4VJ 
(G3AB) - they obviously feel strongly about this :
