Closest thing I can liken radio contesting to is competitive fishing or
fishing derbies. You are in the same pond or lake or stretch of ocean,
but beyond that you pretty much get your choice of stuff. You can fish
where ever you want (within the extent of the rules), you can use your
choice of rods and reels (within the extent of the rules), you can use
what ever type of boat you want (within the extent of the rules), and
you have a fixed window of time to do what you can. After that, its
much about your skill as a fisherman to know where to go and when to
move from that spot, your luck in hitting a good pile of fish, and your
ability to land big ones.

Ham radio contesting might well be "like" a lot of other competitive
activities, but I think contesting is the only one where you have to
cooperate with your competitors. No cooperation, no QSO.
