        I should have put a sarcasm alert there Hans! But to answer your  
question....


Mainly to show how silly the level playing field concept is. My "poor  
operating practices" classes quips just point out what is needed to  
actually do well in a contest:

        A good radio
        A good antenna system
        A good operator

        If ya wanna do better, put together a better station. Even better,  
become a better operator. Simple.
