[ILQSO] Digital Operations

Of course, Steve. But, the original post, Eric said this: "For those of us  
who are CW-challenged, it's a way to compete to big-guns, score wise". That is  
where my comments came from...

Chuck,  you talk about competing with the big guns,
but remember, not everyone is  "in it to win it" and some people don't
have the skills and great antennas  to compete with the even modest
contesters.  For this group of people,  I'm sure there may be some
enjoyment in contesting in digital modes, even  for only a few hours.

I'm sure there's room for "fun" in this contest,  right?  ;)

Just my 2 cents...While I like to see  new modes used,  there is really 
no way to compete with the big guns  without using CW.  There is no way you 
can rip PSK QSO's out as fast  as CW.  But, but, it is better than nothing! 
Just don't feel too let  down....If something happens where my rate drops BIG 
time, I'll check the  digital freqs, but, in an 8 hour party, it's not likely 
I'll make  it.

If you are cw challenged, why not use your interface to help copy  the 
code??? I know of at least one big gun that uses that to help  out.

Please post after the party, and let us know how much activity,  and which 
bands were the most productive.
