It's called "progress". It doesn't have to be a P3. Look at the ire
the use of SKIMMER has generated.
Now guys have to figure out how to intelligently use the new gadgetry.
Working DX will still be an developing skill. Those without the
technology will moan and complain about it being unfair of course.
Which brings up another technology. Remote operating. The advantage
there could be huge. But in the future, many will have no choice. So
how do we judge remotes?

Perhaps this is why DXpeditions seem to play "spin the dial" more;
having many stations converge on the last rx frequency probably tends
to slow their rate. I experienced this effect at PZ5RO. It would be
interesting to get feedback from DXpedition ops.

Has anyone else noticed just how many people are now able to pounce
on the last frequency TX5K used? Back in the day you swapped VFOs
and listened for the calling station. After I got my P3 it seemed
to be a real advantage because you could instantly find the calling
station (if you could hear him). Now so many people do this it
seems to almost be a requirement to have a P3 or panadapter of some
sort. Of course, I could be wrong.
