Amazing how a little math debunks a statement like "you'll never
wear one out unless you hot-switch it".
> Altogether, that's well over 200,000 relay closures for one contest. Since
> I try to operate in the five big CW contests each year (Sweepstakes, CQWW,
> ARRL DX, CQWPX and IARU), an RJ1A relay is only going to last me about two
> years! Yikes.
