I now realize from the postings on this reflector that
I am not a real DX'er
I am not a real contester
The problem is that I casually enter the contest , I use
the cluster network, and I generally only make around 1,000
qsos.. I do submit my logs .. ( as assisted )
I thought that even my few qsos might promote the contest,
I never thought that my efforts would be regarded as those
of an inferior ham , ( just because the cluster was on here ).
Recent postings have convinced me , that running assisted is
regarded as a undesireable in the contesting genre. Until I dump
the cluster I will never gain any respect from the so-called
elite members of the non-assisted club.
Nevertheless I will carry on , enjoying the hobby in my way,
even though I will be a Cluster scumbag in some folks views.
