Guess it is always  good to ...

1: get sweep 
2: have fun 

not necessarily in that order,try as  I might there was  nary a kp4 to be
found, stumbled across one on 15 just as  he apparently had given up in
"tangling with the pileup"....  I think I maybe able to relate to the
feeling...

Piss and Moan section..

1: "overprocessed  audio' taking up loads of     bandwith unnecessarily...

2:  in the middle of a pile up.... here I am     working  stns  as fast as I
possiby can  using     the prescribed sweeps format which means I do  give my
call in every exchange  and end every qso with Tks and then say 
" VO1MP Sweeps" .. YET quite a few  brain surgeons who are usually 30 over 
come on with ..ur call ...ur call ... whats  ur call.. I mean like I wasn't
gonna  give it twice every qso anyway DUH !!

3: and then of course  there is the ubiquitous " I Just know that I am the 
station you called Anyway and I really dont  care who you just acknowledged.. I
mean gimme a break.. eg ..  as an example only ...  how does wb2XXX
Whiskey Bravo 2  sound like aa6 xxx alpha alpha six ... either  my audio is bad
or your ears are worse  !!
another DUH !! Man I am doing the best I can  with  what I got..  a while ago
one of the rocket scientists  on here suggested that if a rare  section has
trouble with the pile up... split is the answer ...  yeah like the stations
werent  wall to wall and the was lots of space to work split .. another gimme a
break !!   

I guess I really had mellowed  a bit and forgotten why I had more or less
abandonned sweepstakes, I needed the shock value  reminder once again,  but
then again  there is the good and the bad.. and  you  still have to separate
the wheat from the chaff....  but the  10 percent or so of lids  sure make it
tough for the other guys.

OH well I guess I AM getting  crotchety .. there now  all that's off my
chest...
