Man-O-Man,
The anti contesting crowd was out in force on Facebook this time.

The best comment I saw was.

I just got done putting up my brand new 10 meter 4 element beam, And now
I can't get on because of the stinking contest!

These people really do not have a clue do they?

We NEED the webinar about how contesting is good for the hobby and how it
can make you a better operator.

Copy?

It has seemed like the QRZ Contest in recent years.  This year it
seemed
to be
the 73 Contest.  Surely 'thanks' is sufficient, given the length of
the Q
and
the fact you haven't exchanged names?
Decent contesting form seemed to rule this past weekend. I only heard
"please copy" a couple of times.

Admittedly since I wasn't working US stations, my sample may have been
biased. Maybe the DX stations working the US stations heard all kinds
of "please copy".

I remember when I did a lot of Digital at Field Day this summer and
there was a whole bunch of "please copy" in the digital exchanges! So
maybe this is a US-ism.
