353 Jean AlleySkimmer should not be allowed in CW contests
354 Vanderydt TheoIt's obvious we should keep CW a mode for skilfull operators who don't need a machine to help them understand whats going on !

363 Guy MolinariThis technology does not advance the art of radio
364 ArtFully agree. The center point in Ham Radio is a radio operator and not the machine. Contests are supposed to select the best operators - not the most sophisticated equipment AND/OR the most clever way of cheating the spirit of contesting.

366 Jamie LoYes, for world-class high-power stations this is probably OK. I'm concerned about low power and especially QRP. Here, it's very helpful to find a new mult who's calling CQ with no takers. Skimmer will exist and will be used by non-competitors regardless of the rules. The instant the mult starts CQing, some skimmers will find it. Then, there'll be a pileup of high-power non-competitors. Overall, I'd expect QRP scores to go way down.
367 Laurent BELLAY FM5BH"We respectfully request that CW Skimmer not be allowed for anyone submitting an entry to a CW Contest in any category in order to preserve the sport we love". I am agree. Long live to real CW. 73 Laurent a CW op

374 Nasko , LZ9R ( LZ3YY )Skimmer will kill the CW art. Please do not use it on RTTY too.RTTY also needs a human behind radio.Using a skimmer for log checking by contest sponsors is OK to me.

376 Jeff BriggsBan the Skimmer. It would change single operator contesting into "the rest of us vs. the machines." Allowing it would be a major mistake. 73 JEFF VY2ZM
377 felipe hernandez np4zthanks
378 K2KW Kenny SilvermanNeat technology: maybe use it for log checking, but not for operators.

384 Vladimir VE3IAE/EU1SAUnlike previous technical and technological innovations, Skimmer causes degradation of operator's skills, therefore it cannot be used in contesting and (preferably) the amateur radio in general.

386 Michael KC2EGLWhy bother operating at all if you are going to let a computer do all the fun stuff for you. Keep the human element in CW. Keep your computer out of operating as much as possilbe. For logging? Yes. As a keyer yes? As a CW reader? NO! At least make some effort when operating. Do your own reading of what is being sent. If you are going to let a computer to do all the work then go enter those cell phone text messaging contests and leave the airwaves to those who really want to put them to use.
