I certainly sympathize with your feelings Fred. I too quit contesting when all RSTs were 5NN and rude behavior became acceptable. That was a long, long time ago.
I just segue to 30 meters or QRT until the mayhem is over and I can have a real QSO with someone. Operating is, for me, a form of meditation that reduces stress. The hand that reaches for my key has gotten a lot older over the past 65 years of pounding brass but the effect on me is still the same. I choose to keep it that way. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Fred Moore Sent: Monday, November 27, 2017 5:09 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] CW Contest and Elecraft K3s decoder CW skimmer can copy almost anything. I will not play in their sand box... I think we need a good contest where each ham sends an actual RST he copes, and a personally designed 3 alpha numeric check sum. The check sum get published when he/she turns in their log. The logs get computer compared any call where RST and Checksum that is copied correctly during the exchange gets 5 points anyone that is incorrect looses 100 points for that QSO. The contest sponsor should be putting out false calls and frequencies on the frequency spotter list, if any of those calls show up on any list the whole log gets tossed and their name published as a cheat.. There should also be people who only call CQTEST and never answer a call, if there call shows that log is also tossed. I have not use for CW decoded qso's as a learning tool or otherwise.. off my soapbox Fred Moore email: f...@fmeco.com wd8...@gmail.com phone: 321-217-8699 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
