[Elecraft] The P3 Effect

[Brian Alsop]

It's called "progress".  It doesn't have to be a P3.  Look at the ire 
the use of SKIMMER has generated.

Now guys have to figure out how to intelligently use the new gadgetry. 
Working DX will still be an developing skill. Those without the 
technology will moan and complain about it being unfair of course.

Which brings up another technology.  Remote operating.  The advantage 
there could be huge.  But in the future, many will have no choice.  So 
how do we judge remotes?
