No argument.  The question I think that needs to be asked is: Should 
there be a limitation of any type on SO#R?  If there should, how do you 
define it and control it?

Perhaps a simple dueling CQ is OK.  But how much technology assistance 
is really appropriate in a single operator unassisted category?  I 
think that whether or not that assistance is provided from another 
human or from a computer, where does the line get drawn?

Is computer CW copying on the second radio OK so the single operator 
doesn't actually have to listen?  I think questions like this need to 
be asked and given thought.

Current single op RTTY contesting certainly pushes the limit too.
