[CQ-Contest] WPX Rumination

[Tom Horton]

Doug,
 Although the past few contests I have been semi-QRO (100 watts),
 I add a hearty AMEN to your QRP comments. It's amazing what 
you can do when you try. Busting rare pileups running 5 watts to a 
tribander or a quad (on first call) is REALLY exhilarating, as I am 
sure you are aware.
 The thing is, don't tell these guys...they might get to like it!!
73, Tom K5IID
