Fwd: Re: [CQ-Contest] Single-Op - Stop the Rot.

[Jim Rhodes]

Maybe it is just me, but I always felt I was wasting my time trying to work 
spots off of packet. Half the time I couldn't hear them or they couldn't 
hear me through the pileup. And I spent a lot of time spining up & down the 
band. I haven't used the cluster for contesting in years, and I think that 
internet spots would be worse. For a peanut whistle station in the middle 
of the black hole it is better to go find your own than to chase spots all 
over the band!
