OR......one could move to Wyoming... and live without packet networks.
And when it is decided to work the contest assisted... one better plan for
where the assistant is going to sit, because the assistant needs to sit
somewhere.
And it ain't gonna be on the other side of the 'puter screen.
Of course, there really isn't a discussion if the decision is made to work
the next contest,
single.... because you is... single you see. No question as to if you
happened to utilize the
spot or not.. cause there just isn't one.
But when the certificate comes in the mail.... then the rewards are nice,
and personal, and
only shared with those that actually helped.

Dale - WC7S qrp in Wy.... C U in the next TEST!!
