The SmampFox Contesting Group in South Carolina has an online copy of the
AARGH! Frequently Asked Questions list I wrote that was published in NCJ a
while back. You can access the AARGH! FAQ at
http://www.swampfoxcontestgroup.com/Contesting%20AARGH%20FAQ.pdf
Items 2, 4 and 8 pretty much cover the annual Sweeptakes CK driven email flood,
item 8 is repeated here as a public service:
*Contesters are all 80 years old and no new blood is coming in - isn't this
going to be the deathof contesting?* Probably not, but if you feel that way do
some Contest Elmering to bring some younger hams into the contesting fold.
Wringing your hands here probably just scares potentialcontesters away, much
the way cranky bocce ball players have caused all the teenagers to wantto play
Farmville on Facebook instead of getting out on the lawn and throwing those
bocce balls.
