your machine has informed me that 'old style...'will not work.  ah, tempora 
o mores.  where,pray tell can the latest information concerning this fiasco 
be found and is it in english (rather than visual basic).
for an organization of radio operators, it appears an unseemly emhasis is 
placed on following the arbitrary rules of some computer buffs.  it is for 
this reason that i have pretty well removed myself from submitting scores 
and contesting altogether.
i was under the impression that there was a push to interest younger folks 
in the amateur radio game.  damned near every newby has a handheld and all 
work on 2 m fm while a substantial number function on 70cm fm.  what a 
better training ground than contests...but what is the value of contests if 
you cannot submit your score or when you do they are rejected by a piece of 
cleverly configured switches crafted to save the labor which is designed to 
reject submissions not in the proper new style.
change the game and you loose participants...but then you have already 
alienated potential players by requring them to become computer amateurs as 
well.
is there a plan to include a few questions on coding in the next generation 
of exams? prehaps venn diagrams, matrices and fibonacci series structures 
would apply to technicians along with microsoft certification.
