The "NO" CW Skimmer Petition

RadioSport's CW Skimmer debate moved to the next level and a petition is circulating. One must read the entire eDocument and it begins like this, "We love CW Contesting because it is CW Contesting. CW Contesting is enjoyed by Amateur Radio Operators worldwide who use their skills and stations to compete with other stations and the other stations' operator(s) skills." And the petition ends like this, "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." On the other hand, I have staked my position in this debate, allow CW Skimmer within Single-Operator assisted (S/O A). If one supports banning CW Skimmer from RadioSport then consider signing the eDocument. Contest on.
