It's all a matter of where you draw the line. This is just more technology, and technology is **supposed** to make things easier. Following your line of reasoning, we'd have to disqualify those using DSP or beam antennas because it makes DXing harder for those that don't have them.

I think this is exactly the kind of thing that people are objecting to. Taking away the work and the element of chance involved in hunting for the DX removes a lot of the challenge, even if you do still have to work it. And if the big guns are instantly alerted to the presence of any DX on the band, it reduces the window of opportunity for the alert, but un-equipped with
this program, little pistols.
