[VHFcontesting] Digital ... contesting

[Stephen Hewlett]

The comment about watching TV with an iPad and working people with a remote desktop app left me flat as well. I have found that in life you generally get out of something in terms of satisfaction what you put into it. Watching TV with an iPad while VHF contesting doesn't seem very satisfying to me. I wouldn't bother if that was my only VHF contesting option. Steve N4NIV

What rubbed my Rover fur backwards a few weeks ago was this comment
posted after a contest weekend:

    "The big advantage of that mode for me is that I
    can sit in the bedroom watching TV with an iPad in
    my lap and work people via a remote desktop app."
