Hi Contesters:
Well, this is sure an interesting discussion. Having never done an RTTY
contest, I will not take any position pro or con. But I can tell you that
this seems like a total nightmare for the contest sponsor. Since the
"computer" can "listen" to so many bands at once, yet the return can be
controlled to be "one signal at a time," it appears that several qso's can
take place on different band within a single minute (antennas and rigs
permitting). So how does the sponsor plan to "catch" those who ARE sending
out 2 (or more?) signals simultaneously? How can the sponsor distinguish SO
from M/M? What a can of worms!
I also find a HUGE problem with N5NJ's "solution." What is the definition of
"running?" Oh boy!
Glad this is NOT one I do!
