Well, yes and no. I, for one, find the endless routine of Tune - Find -
Check - Dupe - Tune Again to be excruciating. This has nothing to do
with the Contest reflector, and it may be strictly a function of my age,
but I don't find unassisted S&P enjoyable any more.

Has nothing to do with how active the cq-contest reflector is. It has
everything to do with how addicted to packet users have gotten. We could CQ
until we were blue in the face and get 1 QSO a minute. Get spotted - bam.
Rate went to 7 QSOs a minute.
People have forgotten what that big, fat knob in the middle of their radios are
supposed to do.

I dabbled in the contest both nights (20m and 40m) and was amazed at how many
relatively strong DX stations made call after call without any answers.
Several of the big gun stateside stations seemed to be in a similar boat.

In the run-up to this weekend's CQ WW DX Phone contest, there was not a
single post on this reflector about it. NOT ONE. Not an operating question,
nor a rules or technical question.
