I don't know if this a factor worth considering in the discussion, but
but I was under the impression that the people who help with scores thought
they had a thank-less job to begin with. If you want to see what in the logs,
there is an odvious approach. Think about it.
My own comments are centered about the analogy to sailboat racing, and I used
to crew in High School with this crazy nut who used to win most of the time.
I have to disagree with the phrase "everyone can see what tactics the winner
used" because it is just not true. Indeed, until people start turning the
first mark the majority in the race don't even have a clue is in the lead, and
are so busy with their own affairs they have very little time to evaluate what
anyone else is doing. Only the ones in the lead knew what was happening, and
were also quite quick to file a "protest" for any infraction of the rules, I
might add. I'm sure there are "secrets" in winning, but I would suspect that
it really has an awful lot to do with the concept that the winners worked a lot
harder and smarter than evryone else. And not just during the contest.

Subject: Antenna switching
Message-ID: <199410181845.TAA01837@curia.ucc.ie>
We are just after adding a couple new antennas to our
M/S station. The problem is our current antenna switch
arrangement will not handle this!
Currently, each antenna goes through a 2-way switch which
allows you to choose either operating position, and then
a 6-way MFJ switch.
Anyone have any suggestions as to the most flexible arrangement,
which would allow either operating position to choose any
antenna?
We are only dealing with a few different antennas, so how
do you big guns manage????
Any ideas? - I'll post a summary after a few days

select a suitable candidate contest. Thanks.

I thought I would see what the reception out there would be to the idea
of having all the past contest results published on CD?
I have been cleaning up the basement full of CQ's and QST's all tenderly
saved for - among other things - the contest results. I love looking
through them from time to time and it occurred to me how neat it would be
to be able to search over the years by contest, class, call, etc. Not
that I would ever throw away all the old magazines.... but sure would
enjoy the CD.
Any opinions?
