[CQ-Contest] reducing hours contest

[JAIME VAZQUEZ]

The issues of reducing the hours of a contest is absurd.The contest will
lose all its meaning and stop being a meaningful pastime.When you stop
and think of the money and hard work involved in furnishing a radio
station with the information to broadcast for 24 to 30 hours and
encourage the participants and all of a sudden the hours are being
reduced,this will only discourage the participants. The rules have
already been established and abided with. Reducing the hours would only
be a great disappointment.

I would be in agreement with these radio amateurs of reducing the hours
of the contest, on one condition , lets reduce the hours of a day,
instead of 24 hours lets lower them to 16 hours. Everyone lives 24 hours
a day and does not complain, in fact, they wish the day would have more
hours. I feel the same way about contests. This kind of entertainment
satisfies us. Why then should they take this satisfaction from us,when
the contest in completed. I think it's an excuse for the loser to say
they lost because of the decision of reducing the hours. I think that
the measures being taken and thoughts of these individuals come from
people that just like everything done fast and without too much work
being involved. (THESE PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE FED AND IT WOULD EVEN BE
BETTER IF THEY HAD SOMEONE MOVE THEIR JAW, SO THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO
THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF CHEWING)

It is a shame that contests will loose their excitement.It's like you
preparing yourself for a 42 kilometer marathon, you just do it and don't
look for excuses. Why can't we just do the same. Everyone knows how long
a contest lasts,the ideal thing to do is to prepare ourselves for the
work involved and just do it.

It's an excuse of individuals that invest in radio stations and cannot get
into higher positions. They just blame it on being too tired. Anyone can
say that ....lets go on.....( I would like to hearfrom radio amateurs in
PUERTO RICO and the United States to hear their opinion on this
issue..........THANK  CONTEST FOREVER  ( 48 hours Yes)

P.S. --------- PLEASE EXCUSE MY ENGLISH

Este asunto de bajar las horas del contest lo encuentro ridiculo eso es
relativo creo que entonces un contest deja de ser un sacrificio
importante en nuestro hobby. De que vale entonces tu invertir tanto
dinero en preparar una estacion para 30 0 24 horas de contest  esto en
vez de animar mas al contester lo desanima , ya hay unos record
establecidos y que cada uno de  nosotros va tras ello si como el de
nuestro amigo Pedro en 80m pero esto dejaria de ser una satisfacion si
se bajan las horas de contest ,
Yo estaria de acuerdo con estos radioaficionados (el que bajen las horas
de contest) siempre y cuando tambien las horas regulares de un dia
normal envez de ser de 24 horas sea de 16 todo el mundo viven las 24
horas del dia y no protestan incluso prefieren que el dia durara mas eso
mismo pienso yo del contest esto es un sacrificio que nos satisface.
porque entonces quitarno ese regocijo que sentimos todos alterminar un
contest creo que esto es una escusa si bajaran las horas entonces el que
no gana tiene la escusa de que no gano por esa medida tomada , sigo
diciendo que estas medidas o pensamientos de ciertos aficionado vienen
de gente comoda que le gusta lo facil y no el sacrificio (Quieren que le
den la comida en la boquita y que tambien le muevan la quija) muy bonito
esto va hacer que los contest dejen de tener el entuciasmo que tienen
hoy esto es como un maraton de 42 kilometro uno se prepara para esa
distancia si escusas , por favor por que entonces no hacemos lo mismo ?
Todo el mundo desde tiempo atras saben cuanto dura un contest , puez lo
ideal es que nos preparemos para esa cantidad de hora que trabajaremos .
Pienso que son escusas de personas que invierten en buenas estaciones y
no pueden ni siquiera llegar en una posicion envidiable y le hechan la
culpa al cansancio a si cualquiera ,,,,Bueno continuaremos .....(Me
gustaria saber la opinion de los radioaficionado en Puerto Rico y que
piensan de este asunto).......CONTEST FOREVER
