Thom: Your points are well taken. It's all about politics, knowing the "right"
people, and shameless self-promotion. None of which apply to Jim White, K4OJ.
Two years ago I tried to nominate the most deserving person on the planet for
the CQ Contest Hall of Fame (not K4OJ), and could not jump through the hurdles.
I tried to get others involved, with no success.
No good deed goes unpunished.
