Hear, hear, Ed, N1UR. Exactly. The only rules for anyone who wants to
contest are the rules of the FCC or other governmental authorities of
their countries. Have fun in contests doing anything you want under
those rules. Only if you want to be considered for an award by
submitting your log to the sponsor do you have to follow the sponsor's
rules. Really, you need only worry about your own skill development,
not whether others are developing their skills or not. And, really,
are CW skills as important today as the technology skills you learn
from integrating remote operating, skimmer, code readers, scp, etc.
into your station? The only people who can put up their hand and say
yes are the hardcore CW contesters. And hardcore CW contesters need
the people who want to have fun with whatever technology is available,
regardless of how they copy your call. Otherwise, CW contesting would
always resemble Sunday afternoons in the Sweepstakes. 73, Ken, K6LA /

Sure makes sense to me. Clear and to the point.
