[CQ-Contest] Next WRTC should be WRSOC

[James B. Neiger]

I say NUTS to that.  A major part of contesting IS the endurance.  48
hours -YES.  And that's why the CQ WW remains the most popular contest,
effectively combining knowledge, experience, strategy, speed, accuracy and
endurance.  Mr. Milktoast's need not apply.......
