[Moon] The future of Amateurradio - computer games

[Peter Sundberg]

To remove any doubt as to whether "modern amateur radio" is in fact a 
computer game, please read

A Fox is being hunted by hundreds of Hounds - by help of strong 
support from the Internet and to minor extent also the use of amateur 
radio frequencies. LotW is flooded with confirmations, on the fly.

To make it clear,  naming calling stations "Hounds" is just another 
proof of Joe Taylors view on his fellow amateurs - they are his pack 
of dogs and should at all times obey the master.  I  find t his 
somewhat intimidating, to say the least.

This Fox/Hound concept will surely be incorporated into his more EME 
friendly protocols before the end of the year. Can we expect a 
presentation at EME 2018 of his plans to launch the Fox/Hound EME concept?
