Duane, Well said I agree with your statement. Lets keep the challenge and
hone the skills. We seem to be moving away from what I see as the purpose
and challenge of "Weak Signal operation". Locating Rovers via a Network
takes the operating in a different direction. Next we could have automated
contacts and automated logging. That's ok but for different contests. I
realize that Ham IM is different but here in the Mid-West my average 2 meter
contest contact is usually excess of 225-250 miles and seldom get closer
that 75-100 miles from another operator and for the 2 or 3 I get close
enough to we have no problem finding each other with RF. Of course this is
just what I experience here.
