OK, but fair is fair.
Turn off your DSP.
Turn off any automatic band changing equipments and rotate all switches by
hand...
For that matter, rotate your beam by hand too, because that's how I rotate
mine.
Hmmm, Richards, any suggestions for how we can control this....?
About the only way is to keep it like it is (as Carl states in his post); a
different class if you are using CW Skimmer.
If people choose to cheat, then they cheat.
How do we control if an OM is running 10w, 100w, or 1KW?
Before we change anything else, I would promote making a class for:
- 48 hours of participation
- and also 36, 24, 18, and 12 hours of participation
I think "time" is one of the separators between the guys at the top of the
list, the middle of the list, and the bottom of the list of results.
It actually works pretty well just as it is.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] wither CW?
I don't want to hijack the thread or cause a flame war, but I agree
with the notion there should be more points awarded to contesters
(contestants?) who actually pound out the code with their fist, and who
do not use electronic keyers to generate transmitted code. I thank we
should reward the operator for HIS skill, not that of his computer. I
know this would slow the pace, and reduce the number of contacts, but
it would be the operator, and not his computer at work. If contests,
like field day, are to simulate high pressure, need to operate NOW,
scenarios, then he would need to have his own ability to pound the
brass, as a computer may not be available. I don't use a voice keyer on
SSB contests for the same reason. If I can't talk for 24 hours, and the
other guy can, he deserves to win.
And, parenthetically, I'm finding this code thing terribly difficult to
learn!
But I will get there, eventually...
Just my take....
Happy trails.
