Guys,
Never forget in this discussion that there is really only one secret. And,
I'm about to disclose it for all to know.
Secret: Get on and work guys. Those that work the most will usually win.
And, now you know the secret, too. Whatever you do, please don't tell
anyone else. If my competitors discover that I spend my operating time working
guys in contests, I may start to drop in the final standings! This may
happen to others as well. Contesting could vanish right in front of our eyes.
With this knowledge in the public domain, all competitors may end up in last
place in the next contest.
To quote my good friend Billy Shakespeare, so much ado about nothing.
73 John, K1AR

That may well be, but FORCING someone else to share their "secrets" is the

Of those operators who believe there is value in reviewing past logs, some
hold the view that "sharing secrets" is healthy for radiosport and its
participants. Sharing your successes motivates you to enhance your
operating skill further to remain competitive. This is good for the
individual and the hobby.
