Being a troublemaker here...what else is new?
Speaking as a CW operator whose hearing was never good, not getting better,
and likely to functionally vanish before cochlear implants become Costco
items, I am beginning to take an active interest in the digital modes,
including digital copy of CW. Let us say that I get sufficiently interested
to develop my own DSP software that can pull five-minute-opening-CW out of
the Top Band fog. Would my using such a program constitute fraud? What if I
write software that can watch a waterfall display and pull out CW? What is
the magnitude of the difference between doing it "between the headphones"
and being able to describe it well enough for a machine to do it?
