[CQ-Contest] Judicial System Stops Conte

[MarchandJohn]

Hi Tim, 
I know how you feel. I had jury duty for 7 weeks...BUMMER!

Added requirements for Judgeship should be....
 1. Must be a contestor.
 2. No jury deliberations on a case on Friday prior to a contest.

On the jury duty questionaire there should be additional questions...
 1. Are you a contestor?  If so, which contest(s) and on what dates?
 2. Would you like the Friday of the contest(s) off from jury duty to prepare
    for that contest?

----I don't think thats too much to ask, do you??  HI.

73,
John K1RC

"Judicial System Stops Contestor".

Well that's my headline. 
The story is not quite as interesting.

I got placed on a jury 7 days before the ARRL SSB contest.

"But your honor I have a contest to operate......"

Hmmm I didnt think that would work.
We finally came up with a verdict Friday night 30 mins into the contest.

Since my contest station I use (WC6H) is 2 hrs away there was not much
chance to limit the damage. Besides I was tired and I already had called
Rich the night before and canceled.

So....that ends my string of 5 consecutive Pacific Division wins......Oh
well.
I knew it couldn't last forever, but that's not the way I imagined it would
stop. 

Hope you all had fun!

PS  Anybody here try to get off a jury due to a contest? 
Id like to know if you had any luck!  
My judge had no sense of humor! :-)
