The Armenian judges gave this a 9.8 on the Olympic Troll-O-Meter, but
they were over-ruled by the umpires in instant replay, who award it a
1.4.
The Armenian judges lodged a formal protest!
It was sufficiently trollish, of course, but way too obvious.
It was poorly written, poorly executed, and was so incredibly
lame as to lack the true drawing power of a really masterful
troll. Maybe as high as a 1.6 for the intense pathos of the
premise, but a 9.8? Never! The Armenian judges tear their
hair out, throw their balalaikas down in dismay, and perform
the traditional Armenian Dismay Chant! They demand a recount!

> HI all:I am really frustrated.As many of you may recall, I do a lot of
qrp work and have been doing so for several? decades.? I'm a decent op, but
I can't seem to work any (not much) DX on 160 with qrp.I know that my
antennas are not "great" but I did work DXCC (qro) in about a year
including some pretty nice stuff (3Y0, VK6, JA, 8Q, etc)...not bad for NJ.?
But when I go qrp, I don't think that I've ever worked more than 3 DX qso's
(including zone 8 stuff) per contest.? When I look at the other qrp scores,
and specifically how many DX stations they work, well, it seems like I just
must be doing something wrong.? I just don't understand it, especially some
of the numbers from places "further away" than I am!As I said, I've worked
my share qro on 160, but essentially nada qrp.? Of course, with qrp on the
other bands, I have no issue at all (I usually feel "loud").So....what am I
doing wrong?? Please reply off-line.Thanks,de Doug KR2Q
