When a contester comes on a busy frequency and starts yelling CQ CONTEST, 
all hands need to wait until he is trying listen, turn their speech 
processors to stun, run max. suds, and start calling CQ CONTEST.  Is not 
turnabout fair play?

>Power increases the level and impact of all qrm.

One should run no more power than is needed to communicate.

Then operate amoung unsanctioned contesters.  

>If I choose to enter a pissing contest, I expect qrm.

In a real pissing contest, one runs no speech processing, max. suds, 
speaks softly, runs VOX, turns the RX audio gain to zero, calls the other 
party on the telephone, and continues with the conversation, totally free 
of QRM.
