Shamefully, I confess I laughed when I read this one. TRlog is still the Top
Dog of CW contest logging software, but I think grade school children in 10
years will be reading about "DOS" in their Ancient History books.

Internet based contesting is what I visualized years ago before getting back on
HF. Sadly, however,
CW mode contest activity (whether Internet or on-air) will now dwindle with
every passing SK ;-(
Contest Sponsors may soon have to think about incorporating the NCCC NS rules
ability to work dupes after one intervening QSO.

Not if all Contest "exchanges" if finally shortened to one character: "E" (one
dit). Just think of how many more Q's everyone could make with such a concept!
IMHO, we all need to enjoy what we have left and make "Contesting Hay" while
the sun still shines (and until Global Warming melts all the big aluminum
farms).
