1. [CQ-Contest] Wasting Time (score: 1)

As a little pistol I must admit that a lot of what I read here can be intimidating. For instance, for years I have read the opinion that goes like this: such-and-such behavior wastes valuable time in

Well put, from a fellow little pistol. I try to operate as efficiently as I can, but I'm nowhere near having to worry about losing a few Qs in an hour with triple-digits rates. For some contests, the

This whole debate reminds me of the "motorist-pedestrian" argument. Who is more important? I bet if you were a "big gun" you would think a very different way! So, I guess it is always better to try t

Hi Al There are two ways to look at the wasted time argument. The first is as you may have: priviliged prima donnas whining. The second, since this is the forum for advice on contesting, is as advice

Awww... I don't think I can agree. I don't think the difference is between the outlooks of the big guns and little pistols, but between good and bad technique - I think we are all aware of plenty of

The Hot Shots want it all. And they want it at once. Not a second later. The reality for the Hot Shot is, when there is a propagation opening, the opening must be used more effectively than the compe

While in general I want to agree with you - I also know that every chance I have to make more contacts faster at the start of the contest or whenever for that matter is more time I have to work anoth

I think you all have overlooked one of the well-known secrets of "little-pistol" contesting: ** Think and Act like a Big Gun ** It's kinda like one of the principle of success - if you want to be suc

George is, of course, 100% correct. I also can agree with Al - but only from a purely philosophical perspective; that being - little of this matters in the grand scheme of life. However, we are talki

There's another element to contesting where wasting time makes no sense. Even contests that are 48 hours are composed of different periods of propagation: you do NOT have 48 hours to work every JA, f

I'll bet a dollar to a donut that the "big guns" don't even bother reading this kind of trash. (Note, I'm definitely a "little pistol" so I can say such things. The nearest thing to "real contesting

Wow! Really! I like "rate" as well as the next guy, but get a grip! It's HOBBY! So some oldtimer harkening back to his traffic handling days says "please copy my number"..... at conversational speed

Hans, I think you need to get a grip. We're talking in the abstract about how to properly send an exchange here - on this email reflector - which I obviously need to point out, is focused on... * con

These comments amuse me from a VK contest perspective -  In most of our contests due to lack of numbers we have multiple contacts with other stations - usually in three hour banks-  you need to be po

And one more thought... if contesting is wasting time, and the intention is to make as many contacts as humanly possible... then go do MORSE EXPRESS.. or some other computer based program.. and beat
