It's so hard to even think about spending 10 hours in front of a radio. It's
looking like it is going to be a beautiful (if somewhat hot) weekend here.
I'll be the guy mowing, car washing, sipping lemonade on the porch, flying a
model airplane, walking the dog, whatever. Yes, a contest in August does
suck.
They are starting to suck year-round for me, maybe I've finally completely
burned out.
Good luck. Don't let a little thing like a rule stop you from running full
power on any band.
