I beleive people are missing the point.. For each and very tool available
to operator/contestors there is a sensable or even appropriate use.
There is no doubt that a good operator with a reasonably sized backpack in
the wilderness
could maintain two opereators with equipment, powers sources antennas
shelter and provisions for a weekend contest. He could have a respectable
showing. With mutipliers, he is right in the running.
Just carry it on step further.. Remember all the discussion about
networking/interfacing radios and pcs?
We have the technology. So group, why not let the radios out on their own? I
mean interfaced rigs, maybe online--BINGO. The master robot program -
TenTecs from hell,finding open frequencies, aiming beams and changing
operating modes and making contacts on their own with instantly verified
logs.
Why the nit picking?
The point is there is a time and a place for every tool.
