[CQ-Contest] It Scares ya!

[v31jp at logical123.net]

Dan,

You are right on with this one! The same goes for any weaker stations.
I move to the place where I can find strong signals. No need to try
and give a guy a new multiplier and points when I jeopardize 3 good
QSO's.

A point I tried to make was, for a given level of errors, the loss
of the QSO is appropriate, above that level, then penalty points
are appropriate. The penalty is not hurting just one area of the
contestants. It really is hurting the pop guns and little pistols.

> With a loss of one
> plus 3 it was not worth it, I switched the antenna and started working
> JAs whose signals were clear.  The W1/W2 guys got hurt.  How many mults
> have you lost because some guy was scared to stay on a multipath or
> static-filled band?
