I am sure that I would operate ARRL SS CW with whatever I could get on 
the air that could be heard anywhere.  I have had top ten finishes in 
the 1960s and in the 1990s and 2000s, but it hasn't taken the fun out of 
operating whatever I can get on the air for this or any other contest.  
Given a choice, I'd choose high power and big antennas.  This weekend, I 
was out of town for a professional meeting and only got home and got the 
station hooked up at 2045Z on Sunday.  I operated as much as I could for 
the next 6 hours and 15 minutes despite having no chance for doing 
anything but make points for the club aggregate score.  But, I could and 
did give a lot of other guys a two-point QSO.  73, John, K4BAI.
