[CQ-Contest] The WPX Debate

[Jim White, K4OJ]

W7EW further expounds on why he thinks the WPX was a better contest, and
adds 


"But I want contesting to become stronger with more participants from all
over"



HEAH EVERYONE - These are the  wisest words ever spoken on this reflector,
for sure.  

Lew's motivations are indeed ones which we all need to think about - I do
not know about you guys but I am doing a sort of midlife crisis thing here
and one of the things that keeps me going is that elder contesters like
K3ZO are still in the big box...I wanna have a shot at that when I am
Fred's age, too - and I feel that if we don't continue to sell contesting
we are gonna be up a creek - this was my main reason for starting a contest
club - to interest NEW guys in one of the funnest things there is in the
world, am I right?



Obviously a smart man like Lew knows that it is:
