> I really get tired of some of these special interest people blaming
contesters for everything. Name me some other activity that gives you a
chance to work DXCC or WAS in one weekend or put a dent in your effort to
work all the US counties. Sure there is the QRM to deal with but if you just
can't deal with it you have alternatives. Go operate on the WARC bands. If
these people had their way the bands would be dead from lack of activity
waiting for stations to show up in their "special" windows...
You know, it often occurs to me during non-contest times, when I turn on the
radio and hear such little activity: if it weren't for contests, would there
be enough activity to justify the continuance of ham radio?
I don't think YES has a solid lock on that question.
