Sorry, but I still don't see this program as any different than any
other technical gadgetry that hams use to increase their scores
during a contest. But just for argument's sake, and because you
mentioned skills, how about keyers?? Keyers have taken a lot of the
skill out of sending CW, no? Shouldn't we outlaw them?

With respect Dan I must agree with Julian G4ILO. As I see it, and
to use your example, DSP and beams are the weapons used during the
hunt, but the hunter must also know when to hunt, where to hunt and
know how to approach the prey, skills gained through experience
(apology to any DX who might read this!). The weapons can be
purchased, but once you start to replace the skills with some form
of 'automatic' system or crutch I believe that much of the appeal
in working DX is lost. DX Clusters are bad enough IMHO.

It's all a matter of where you draw the line. This is just more
technology, and technology is **supposed** to make things easier.
Following your line of reasoning, we'd have to disqualify those using
DSP or beam antennas because it makes DXing harder for those that
don't have them.
