As we rapidly approach CQ WW DX, it's appropriate, I believe, to re-state
the axioms constituting what I call Secrets of Contesting, Chapter 13.
Follow these, and you cannot go wrong. Ask Jeff Steinman N5TJ. You think
he's JUST a good operator? No, I have it with irrefutable evidence that
Jeff learned all of these when he was five years old. (If you don't believe
me, take a minute during the upcoming WW and ASK Jeff if this isn't true.
He won't mind..........)
Top Ten Basics of Successful Contesting
1. Perseverance
2. Belief in yourself
3. Resilience
4. Invulnerability to negative evaluations by others
5. Willingness to outwork your opponents
6. Courage to meet challenges
7. Acceptance of risk
8. Pride in your work
9. Impregnable determination
10. Plan for success. Be at the right place at the right time.
Vy 73, and good contesting
