   Comments: I fully agree with this petition. A line has to be drawn between that which enables human skill to develop VS that which removes the need for it altogether.

   Comments: Don't allow this to happen.Before ere long contests could be run by machines and op's could go down the beach for the weekend! When adopting this type of 'edge' to get a winning score what is the point, skill has gone out the window and, more importantly, where is the fun

    Comments: Computer automation is a growing part of our contesting sport; however, operator skill and performance continue as critical success factors of our sport. CW Skimmer is such a disruptive technology that will shift the focus of CW contesting from human operating to an on-the-air computer game. I strongly support the request that CW Skimmer not be allowed for anyone submitting an entry in a CW contest.

    Comments: This would just be another example of "dumming down" amateur radio contesting. If the CW readers are not bad enough, we do not need this technology during contest competitions.

    Comments: The technology of CW Skimmer will enhance the fun of on-air activities, but it should not become an integral part of CW contesting. Operator skill and station ability, two core components of contesting, need to remain as the focus - CW Skimmer erodes to skills required and will ultimately eliminate skill from the equation.

    Comments: THANKS!! This is just another attempt to "dumb down" ham radio in the name of technology. Why doesn't baseball use pitching and batting machines. It would be about the same thing!

    Comments: Skimmer will be the beginning of the end for CW contesting. If an individual needs Skimmer to participate in a contest, then they should not be contesting. Ban Skimmer from all contests. I know that cheaters will still use Skimmer, even if banned, but then even bad guys still use guns.

    Comments: Machine-to-machine QSOs (which is where this is eventually headed) do not interest me in any aspect of ham radio. For the same reason, I have little respect for those who use machine-to-machine modes like JT65 or QRSS to make weak-signal EME or VLF "QSOs". So what

    Comments: I have been a fly on the wall reading the megabytes of discussion regarding both sides of the CW Skimmer debate. While it is certainly cool technology, it has no place whatsoever in CW contests. Please do not allow its use.
