Ahhh, OK, I see,
he he he, Must be a problem of the big guns. Where such a big signal they are heard often and worked fast using up all the available people quickly and running out of new fresh meat.

being a 100 watt and low wire antennas on all bands, Never had the problem here. Q rate is slow from start to end.

Hi Joe - try operating SO1R (no packet) on SS Sunday if you were on the previous evening - it defines boring, because there is almost nobody to work. The difference between #1 and #10 is at most 50 QSOs.

I missed something,

Where did someone say it was boring?

I do not remember reading where someone said it was boring.

if this was stated, what was the reason for the thought of it being boring?

the rules get changed or not.


However, it is pretty amusing to hear how many people want to "game the
system" with new, fresh, call signs to alleviate the Sunday doldrums but then have others defend yearly how great a contest it is. Can anyone else mention a WRTC eligible contest that is so boring that this topic would even
get started?


There is a reason why the SS contests, both modes, are the laggards of the unbelievable log submission growth that virtually every other major contest has experienced. I am glad the ones that love it, love it. Good for them. The ones playing games with call signs should either accept what it is or find a different contest where such gimmicks (just to add fun and relieve
boredom) are not necessary.


I am sure others will disagree.
