[CQ-Contest] More on Ben and Tom

It's been brought to my attention that Tom Jefferson, in 1997, would 
certainly be a DXer and contester (I think he'd talk to France a lot, his 
DXpeditions might be to Martinique or Guadeloupe, and he would certainly 
spend more than he could afford on his station, but would tear all the 
antennas down every few years and start over -- isn't that what W0UN does?).

Ben Franklin, it's been suggested, would be a QRPer and homebrewer, would 
be using kites to raise his 160M antennas, though I think he might be 
using a helium balloon by now.  Perhaps he would be the pioneer of the 
(even narrower) narrow band CW, but would run a risk of dying in a freak 
amplifier high voltage accident -- watch out for those plate caps!  Ben 
would probably talk to France a lot too.
