Of course, technical progress should help. But only within strictly
reasonable limits!
Unfortunately, the time has come when many (especially those who create

Why?

You folks using CW have a HUGE advantage over the SSB operator.
And folks using a remote RX have a bigger advantage over everybody.

separate awards. I also understand this discussion began talking about CQ
