[Elecraft] didn't make myself very clear :(

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Back in the 1950's or 60's there was a great cartoon in QST showing an
anthropomorphic robot who looked like he was made out of junk box parts
flailing away operating a Ham station in a contest while the Ham relaxed in
the next room. 

It seems we have arrived. 

OTOH, there is the challenge of building the robot and making it work that
is sure to appeal to many, while some of us prefer to ride a horse instead
of a 4-wheeler, split fire wood with an axe instead of a hydraulic ram and
on the air we quite literally "pound brass". 

It's amazing how broad the range of interests in Ham radio have become.

"So very few controls would actually be needed. Come to think of it, an
operator wouldn't even be needed!"

BINGO!  And how much fun would that be?  Which is exactly why I don't care
for the computer-to-computer modes.
