Let's be serious here. The stations put together by N6NB are obviously
fantastic. They allow a stone cold novice to plug it in and win a category
as long as they follow the group. One user of this kind of station only had
her license for 12 days prior to the January contest and she'll likely win
the category.
It does point out the absurdity of the situation, doesn't it? Call it a
toolbox or a lunch box. Its the result of another person's ability to buy,
build and plan. You and several others benefit. You might find the same
level of camaraderie at a big multi-op group station and would save gas
money in the process. The only difference is that you wouldn't get your
call listed in the winner's column.
