Except that using clusters in many contests will put you in a different entry
class.
The trend towards such automation is not new.
Some time back, W3FQB (SK) wrote a story called "The Man Who Broke The Bank"
about a techno-ham who built a fully automated SS station and proceeded to
make an incredible score. The computer did everything - tuned across all the
bands looking for new ones, called CQ, made the QSOs, kept the log, decided
where
the best points-rate could be found, etc. He just sat and watched it go, and
occasionally keyed it manually just to have something to do.
The article was in QST for May, 1953.
