I forgot to add -- each participant should be required to disconnect
all internet (cable, fiber, dial-up) modems, and find the darn DX
stations on their own instead of just clicking on cluster spots
someone else found. You have ears and a tuning knob -- use them both.
It's the equivalent of all the sports "doping" everyone gets otherwise
uptight, red-faced and grumbles about. Not in radio, though .. we
worship the tech advantage. Good computer code IS art. Most computer
code is "structured", and called "science" so someone can sell big
thick books :-) But that isn't the point.
I'd relish an actual contest that looked more like SKN on steroids --
without the steroids, and a Windows/Linux free zone.
(One, luddite's opine). :-)
