[CQ-Contest] Fish in a barrel

[Bill Fisher - W4AN]

IMO (and a lot of other people who dont have as big a mouth as me)...

With all due respect to KE3Q, who is a FB op. and to WA3FET, who forgot
more about RF and antennas than I will ever know...  

I just don't get flying to the KP4 to steal the SS plaque.  I really don't
get it two years in a row.  

The "spirit of this contest" dictates that you don't go to KP4 or KP2 to
win SS.  It ain't right.  It's why none of the usual suspects do it.  The
victory is hollow and meaningless given the lack of competition.  If you
really want to win the SS and do it with pride, get a plane ticket to
Dallas or New Orleans.

Given that this endevour boils down to being nothing more than the respect
of your peers, I would like to respecfully submit that cracking the top-10
in SS from W1, W2, or W3 land is 100 times more impressive than winning
the contest from KP4.  I am sure I'm not the only one tuned in to this
frequency.

PS:  If NP4Z wants to get on and win the SS from home... more power to
him.  Him or any other KP4 or KP2 resident.
