In all the debate over use, misuse, abuse, neglect, and classification of
the skimmer, one thought keeps coming to mind.
Has anyone actually tried it yet in a major CW contest environment?
I know it's been experimented with for awhile. But it seems that it's only
been a few weeks since it was publicly announced as an available technology,
that is to say, a step beyond experimental use.
But... do we actually know what effect it's going to have?
Would it be unreasonable to ask, for example, two roughly equal contesters
to pair up and be test subjects... one with, one without... and see what the
end result is?
We seem to be going over the top over the potential of the technology...
what it might be, or could be, or is hoped to be -- one day. So I have to
wonder... are we getting worked up over something that's a real, major
change, or just what we THINK is a real, major change?
Just wondering.
