Well heck.. why not have the AI robot just do the QSO... how hard can it be to send TNX UR 59 QRZ? <grin> But seriously, it's only a matter of time before someone does build a contesting robot. The computing horsepower is available, it's just a matter of desire and skills coming together, just instead of the skill being digging out the CW and good operating skills with timing, it will be coding the AI.
