I think that a lot of Hams don't get a very simple fact. A
dilettante such as myself can work in the same contest as the world's
best operators. How cool is that?
If Baseball or football was this way, we'd have 6 year old Pop Warner
players lining up against 400 pound pros. It can't work that way, but
we can.
Level the playing field? Heck no, I want to hone my skills against
the best, not make them as lousy as I am!
