This would be a very good argument, Tom, applied to any normal endeavour. If I earned my living by working DX then of course I would want to use every tool going that would help me do it more effectively. But ham radio is a hobby. There isn't a lot of point to it in practical, surviving the real world terms. DXing is supposed to be hard. If you use technologies unrelated to radio to make it easier then it becomes an almost worthless activity. Basket weaving is another hobby. If you bought a machine to weave the baskets, would that make it a better hobby? ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/RE%3A-New-concept-tool-for-CW-dxing-tp15269987p15329483.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
